Intervarsities Update

CIT and UU Elks will contest the Mauritius Cup final this afternoon as they beat DCU and UCD respectively. CIT were rampant in their win, cruising to a 5-0 score with goals from Roger Gray, Stephen Parker, Phil O'Driscoll, Ali Smith and Erasmus student Geert Fromme.

UCD, meanwhile, were stung by two late UU goals. Ben Grogan's drag-flick put UCD in front at the break. The Elks, though, were well on top and forced Stephen O'Keefe into a number of fine saves. As it was, Luke McSharry had a clear-cut chance to seal the deal with 15 minutes to go but his deflection Neil Yong's pass went over.

Simon Todd - who was immense all game - levelled from a broken-down corner with ten to go and Neil Hamilton won it with a straight hit.

In the Chilean Cup, UCC beat UU 3-2 on golden goal in a battle containing a number of full international players. Three-in-a-row is still a possibility but they face the tournament's other outstanding team, UCD.

They beat Trinity 4-0 and will hope they can break the stalemate that occurred in the group stages.
