UCD 2 (Robbie McFarlane, John Brennan) Railway Union 1 (Peter English)
UCD confirmed their place in Division One for another season with a game to go as they got the better of Railway Union at Belfield tonight, leaving their opponents in ninth and awaiting a promotion/relegation playoff. Robbie McFarlane got the only goal of the first half, in which Kenny Carroll was sin-binned, when he rebounded a corner.
Railway had their chances with Peter Yeates and Fiachra Maher going close but it was the students who added to their tally next when John Brennan scored his first goal since the club regained division one status, finishing off an excellent counter-attack early in the second half.
Karl Chapple and Ben Grogan both spent time in the sin-bin while Peter English's drag-flick with 15 minutes to go set up a lively finish but, despite holding decent possession, Railway were shut out by a UCD defence who gave up no clear chances.
go on the students!! great stuff lads.. well deserved.
ReplyDeletefair play college. especially the older lads- worked hard for a few years and finally a relaxed end to the season! fully deserved. since when has JB taken shots?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the oiks, glad to see a Uni team consolidating in Div. 1
ReplyDeleteWell done lads!!
ReplyDeleteNow let's hope YM will beat Railway. I believe they deserve the chance of playing IHL next season rather than TRR. Even with a young, but talented, side, it has been very dissapointing. Also, hiring a Dutch coach is no guarantee for success, look at UCD last year. In other words, arrogance doesn't guarantee points!
ReplyDeleteLads its all about the warm up!
ReplyDeletego on the collidge!
