UCD 23
CORK CON 17
UCD got back to winning ways with a six-point victory over a game Cork Constitution outfit. The sides were on level terms (3-3) heading into the second period.
A terrific try by UCD’s Andy Boyle set the foundations for a thrilling second half. The excellent James Thornton scored a seven-point salvo inside the final quarter and opened up a 20-point gap. Cork Con finished impressively with a brace of converted tries, but it wasn’t enough to deny UCD.
