UCD’s Irish Senior Cup dream lives on!

 
Rosie Carrigan's corner rebound kept UCD's dream of retaining the ESB Irish Senior Cup alive as she scored the decisive goal to beat Cork Harlequins at Belfield on Saturday.

She pounced on a 14th minute corner rebound for the game's only goal. Laura Wilson bashed a superb strike which dinged off the inside of the goals' left-hand post only to fall for Carrigan to neatly push home.

From then on, Cork Harlequins generally showed plenty of menace leading up to the 25 but were scarcely able to threaten once inside the danger zone, as UCD defended their circle immaculately.

The win sets up a repeat of last year's famous second round win against Loreto on penalty strokes, as UCD have been drawn to play the Beaufort side at home in the semi-final.
