Kerry's Paul Walsh scored two points in UL's Sigerson Cup win over Maynooth University PICTURE: Sportsfile
UL booked their spot in the knockout stages of the 2023/24 Sigerson Cup after a 0-8 to 0-7 victory over Maynooth University on Tuesday evening.
The beaten finalists from last year's competition followed up their win over ATU Donegal in round one with a tight win over their hosts that now sees them through.
The teams were deadlocked throughout the contest and level at 0-4 apiece with two Paul Keaney scores bringing UL level at half time.
Aided by a strong breeze in the second half, UL hit the front through Jack McCabe and a second Paul Walsh score had UL 0-8 to 0-6 in front heading into the final stages.
Darragh Kirwan did make it a one-point game but a sterling defensive effort from Declan Brouder's UL side saw them to victory.
