Last June UCC Staff defeated Project Management in the semi-final of the 2008 Junior Football Cup. A clean sheet from Diarmaid Hallissey and goals from Dave Morrissey, Don O'Connell and Noel Browne secured a 3-10 to 0-10 win. The Evening Echo carried a report of the game and also ran a photo of the UCC team. Click both images to enlarge.

First the report.

And here's the pic.

UCC came up against Novartis in the final and came out on the wrong side of a 2-12 to 2-05 scoreline. This was the last in the six-in-a-row of losing football finals and since then UCC have finally captured some football silverware with wins in the 2008 Junior B Cup and the 2009 Junior Cup.
