Are you coming out M50? If so take take the exit off the M50 for Rathfarnham, Ballinteer and Dundrum (No. 13, second after the NBA Arena). Go straight at the roundabout, going on the road parallell to the M50. Turn left at the next roundabout. Keep going, you'll pass the Goat pub (junction with Mount Anville Road). After about a mile there will be an AIB on your right. Turn right here (Wynnsward Drive) and you are now going in the Clonskeagh entrance of UCD. Turn left just before the sports centre, follow the road and you will be at the Bowl. Turn right when you get there and you will come to a car park, which is a 2 min walk max from the ground.

Here's the link to where you would go off the M50.

Here's where you enter UCD.

Get the LUAS into McDowell's, order yourself a few pints.

Seriously, would have thought you'd have known better than to come out to a UCD-Pat's League Cup tie!

Bus from town is the best if you really want to come - 46A, 84, 63, 145, 10, 11, 11A (there's an 11 something which ends in UCD very near the ground).

**DmanDmythDledge** · 16/04/2008, 4:08 PM

Either of the 11s would be the bus to get. 11B goes through the campus, but is less frequent.

46A to RTE, 11/A to the Clonskeagh entrance to UCD (at the AIB) or 11B to its terminus in UCD. The map on stigonline.com/league/directions.htm shows it if you zoom in.

St. Pat's note on the game, from their website

http://www.stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=2208
"21/04/2008 [13:11]
SAINTS IN LEAGUE CUP ACTION
St Patrick's Athletic make their first trip to the Belfield Bowl tonight for an eircom League Cup fixtures against UCD.

John McDonnell brings a depleted side with injuries ruling out Jamie Harris and Joseph Ndo while Keith Fahey and Glenn Fitzpatrick are doubtful.

Kick-off at the Belfield Bowl is 7.45pm."

How many first teamers are we likely to play? they do need to be reminded what a win feels like.

**Dodge** · 21/04/2008, 3:44 PM

We've also called up 3 lads from the u18 side (that played yesterday0

I can see Billy Brennan, Lorcan Keeney and John Reilly playing. Reckon Doyler'll play for match fitness. I'll guess a team and see how many I get right -

Brennan
Keeney
Last
McMillan
Kenna
Reilly
Bolger
Finn
Podge
Timmy
Forsyth

**Poor Student** · 21/04/2008, 4:28 PM

I'll go with:

Brennan
Gallagher
Mullins
MacMillan
Not sure about right back
Reilly
Bolger
King
Doyle
Forsyth
Moran

**DmanDmythDledge** · 21/04/2008, 4:51 PM

Byrne needs to start. Strikers rely on confidence and he needs goals to get his back.

**U-C-D** · 21/04/2008, 9:26 PM

Actual starting team

Brennan

Harding
McMillan
Shorty
Gallagher

Reilly
Bolger
O'Sullivan (A Doyle)
O'Callaghan

Timmy (Mullins)
Forsyth (Fitzgearld)

Subs not used: Gregg, Finn

2 great goals particularly the second one from Reilly. Not a game full of quality. Should have been 2 goals in the first half, on for forsyth and another from there striker! Not much in the second half in the way of chances until the goals

good win over pats again in the cup!

**Poor Student** · 21/04/2008, 9:47 PM

A strange one. Pat's should have played far better for the quality they had out, it was very much a UCD reserve side. We played some neat stuff at times and the second goal was well worked. A decent crowd for that early in the League Cup, 380. Another quarter final for Pete Mahon.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 21/04/2008, 9:57 PM

Impressive College advance to Quarter-Finals

UCD advanced to the quarter-finals of the eircom League Cup with a comprehensive victory against St Patrick's Athletic tonight. Even though Pats' starting lineup was much stronger on paper, UCD's inexperienced team outplayed the visitors and were worth the two goal win.

Full report to follow...

UCD: Brennan; Harding, Shortall (c), McMillan, Gallagher; Reilly, Bolger, O'Sullivan (A Doyle '7), O'Callaghan; Forsyth (Fitzgerald '75), Purcell (Mullins '90).
Subs not used: Finn, Gregg.

Official attendence: 380.
