AIG HEC O’Connor Cup Final.
DCU Dóchas Éireann vs UCC | 15:00pm
DCU Dóchas Éireann will bid to capture the AIG O’Connor Cup for the third year in succession when they take on UCC in a repeat of last year’s final at Queen’s University this Saturday afternoon (3pm).
Champions DCU Dóchas Éireann, who are bidding for their seventh O’Connor Cup title and second three-in-a-row success, saw off the challenge of Ulster University by 2-10 to 0-9 in their semi-final.
A goal from Ruth Sargent helped the champions lead by 1-8 to 0-3 at the break and they sealed their place in the final when Hannah McGinnis found the net.
“Happy to be in another final but we’ve a massive job ahead of us,” said DCU manager Stephen Duff. “Delighted to be in another final, but a lot to improve. For us, this team, this is the first time they’ve played together all year.
“We’ve had injuries and people away on placements and stuff like that. That’s college football. What we’ve asked for, for our girls, is that they just enjoy their college experience. We’re so lucky to have the players that we have and the structures we have around us.
“What we just try and do is just take them away from the stress of inter-county and let them enjoy their college football.”
