Rockmount 2-1 UCC
On a miserable, wet day the Champions saw off a very tough UCC side in the right manner and won through against a very tasty young College side. The first half was a tight affair with both sides having good possesion, Mount having some decent half chances, UCC never testing Slatts at the other end. A great catch by the keeper from a long Pat Keane throw was undone when he threw the ball straight at the back of a retreating Micky Deasy, who in turn cooly slotted the ball to his right for the returning Pat Oldham to bury with aplomb. The start of the second half saw UCC's first effort on goal and but for a stunning save the game would have been level. Rockmount then went on to dominate the game and scored a tidy second goal when subs Alan O Connor and Ruari Beechinor combined less than 2 mins after coming on to seal the points, Beech slotting home. A master substitution by Clarky, Sully and Al Martin. If only Billy would listen to them more often!! UCC scored a screamer with 10 left and applied a bit of renewed effort without getting into the box. With a few mins left a bad decision aggrived the UCC players and two of their lads went what can only be described as "bananas" with the ref and he had no choice but to yeild the red card not once, but twice.
