QUB 1-2 UCD
Drama has become synonymous with the RUSTLERS IUFU Collingwood Cup Final in recent years and the 2018 edition was no different as Daire O’Connor netted a wonderful 93rd minute winner for UCD against Queen’s University in the QUB Upper Malone.
Timmy Molloy had given the Dublin side the lead midway through the first half before Ronan Young equalised on the stroke of half-time with an excellent free kick.
Drama ensued before the interval when striker Georgie Kelly was sent off for a late challenge on Eamon Fyfe.
Initially referee Ryan Hanna had issued the Donegal forward with a yellow card but following consultation with his linesman who was yards away, he then produced a red card for Kelly.
Kelly was in fine form through the week scoring in both the quarter and semi finals.
Deep into stoppage time, O’Connor picked the ball up outside the box 20 yards out on the left flank. He drove inside and curled the ball into the far corner to send the UCD bench into pandemonium and delivered their 47th Collingwood Cup success.
