LISTEN: UL manager Declan Brouder on Sigerson Cup semi-final win over DCU

UL reached just a second ever Electric Ireland Sigerson Cup final and first for 25 years following their 0-14 to 0-11 semi-final win over DCU at Netwatch Cullen Park in Carlow on Thursday night.

UL will face NUIG in the Sigerson Cup final next Wednesday evening after Maurice Sheridan’s side overcame MTU Kerry Campus by 3 points after extra time at Mick Neville Park.

UL had led their semi-final against DCU 0-8 to 0-7 at half-time.

The Limerick side have reached a first Sigerson Cup final since 1997. This year was ULs first semi final appearance in the competition since 2017.

Managed by Newcastle West's Declan Brouder with coach-selectors DJ Collins and Adare brothers Stephen and Davin Lavin, UL had already beaten IT Sligo, Letterkenny IT and Queens University in this year's Sigerson Cup.

Adare and Limerick defender Paul Maher captains the UL team.

The semi-final between UL and DCU was streamed live on the Electric Ireland You Tube channel and can be watched back in full now.
