UCD Mens Hockey fell to two second half goals from YMCA's sharp shooter Jacob Webber to make YMCA unbeaten this season. At nil all at half time UCD looked like they were in for a good day against YMCA's new Australian contingent

UCD Mens Hockey fell to two second half goals from YMCA's sharp shooter Jacob Webber to make YMCA unbeaten this season. At nil all at half time UCD looked like they were in for a good day against YMCA's new Australian contingent and it was one of these that broke the deadlock ten minutes into the second half when YM's top goal scorer last year scored with a low drag flick down to Ross Gribeans right hand post.

Ten minutes latter as YM robbed the ball in the centre of the field he struck again with the assistance of Andrew Walker. UCD's maroding runs from the like of David Quinn and Ronan Flannery were failing to bring UCD back on terms as YM's defence cleaned up well in the circle but with two minutes to go when a ball crashed in from the left touch line found the stick of Jamie Tobin who deflected high into the top left hand corner to score against his old club with his second league goal in 3 games. UCD now face tough opposition in the coming week in the form of, quadruple winning, Pembroke Wanderers fresh from there recent qualfication to the last 16 of the Euro Hockey League this Tueday, the 20th, and Leinster Cup winning Cointhian on Saturday, the 24th, before heading to Intervarsities in Belfast latter that night.
