Fintan Drury himself is another former UCD player, of course. Must have a check and see if they have any others!

Sadly his greatest accolade is omitted from his CV.
Eamon McLoughlin held the title of UCD Hardcore champion from the beginning of time until he left Belfield, where it was passed on to Robbie Doyle and the present holder Mick O'Donnell.Check out my new sports blog http://www.action81.comComment
