UL came out for the second half a different team. The two point gap became three, four and five. Clare senior and UL half back David Fitzgerald led this charge.
The tall, rangy and physical number 7 seemed to be operating on a different level to his opponents and many of his teammates alike. He was so dominant in his territory. His trademark drive, speed and direct-running really was something DCU had no answer for.
