UL advanced to just their second ever Sigerson Cup final after easing past DCU 0-14 to 0-11 in their semi-final clash at Dr Cullen Park in Carlow on Thursday evening.
UL will now face NUI Galway in the final of the prestigious higher education Gaelic football final next week after they overcame MTU Kerry 0-18 to 0-15 after extra time at Mick Neville Pak in Rathkeale earlier in the evening.
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.
UL lost semi finals in 2016 and '17 - both to UCD. DCU were title winners in 2020.
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.
