Was pleased to hear UCD completed the three in a row on Sunday prior to the main event.
Members of the assembled crowd were heard chanting "4-1 to the ... in blue" much to the bemusement of the Longfordian masses when the teams from the WFAI cup final were brought on at half time in the men's game.
I believe CollegetilIdie attended so hopefully he can elaborate on what happened in the game.
Aberdonian Stu... no I was confined to quarters with a relapse of the flu.
Details however were that U.C.D. took the lead through former Republic of Ireland international midfielder Sharon Cullen. Captain Sylvia Gee recently capped against Northern Ireland and the Faeroe Islands, made it 2-0 on 34 minutes. Dundalk's Sonya Hoey was upended in the penalty area and Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper Janine Pepper slotted home the resultant spot-kick to make it 2-1 on 36 minutes. Sylvia Gee made it 3-1 on the stroke of half-time. The result or should I say outcome was put beyond doubt when former Underage International Mazzarello Sweeney grabbed a 4th goal on 74 minutes to leave the final score 4-1. This win was achieved despite being without Republic of Ireland internationals Niamh Connolly and striker Carmel Kissane who were missing through injury
