After being refounded in 2004 UCC's first game was against Cork Airport in the first round of the Junior C Football Cup. This was not a game of much distinction and in a low scoring affair UCC lost out by a goal 2-06 to 1-06.
The team that was led out onto the field in The Farm that day by Frank Dillon was:
1. Pat Hanrahan 2. Paudie Harrington 3. Rory Rice 4. Brendan McElroy 5. Noel McCarthy 6. Brian Coffey 7. Rowan McSweeney 8. John Eakins 9. Tom Byrne 10. Dara Cott 11. Seamus Coffey 12. Thomas Murphy 13. Rob Moylan 14. Tim Crowley 15. Michael Richardson Sub. Mark Copley
The UCC goal was scored by Mike Richardson. Some five years later the soul survivors from that game are Rory Rice (still at full back!), John Eakins and Seamus Coffey.
A full list of the games played in 2004 has been added to the sidebar. This shows that UCC failed to get past the first round in all football competitions played; the Junior C Cup, Junior B Championship and Murphy Cup B. In hurling following another first round defeat in the Junior A Championship, UCC managed their sole win of the year in the semi-final of the Junior B Hurling Championship before going down to Novartis in the final.
It is hoped that a full list of fixtures (and scorelines) for all years can be put together and will be added in due course. After a poor 2004 UCC had a much better 2005 reaching both the Junior C and Junior C1 Championship Finals in football and reversing the previous year's defeat to Novartis in capturing the Junior B Hurling Championship.
