Sigerson Cup third round results<\/p>\n
*******<\/p>\n
DERRY\u2019S NIALL LOUGHLIN and Tyrone\u2019s Ryan Jones struck second-half goals in Abbotstown this evening as Ulster University progressed to the Sigerson Cup quarter-finals at the expense of MTU Cork.<\/p>\n
They had nine points to spare over MTU Cork, who were missing their sharpshooter and captain Damien Gore through injury, in a clash played at Abbottstown in Dublin.<\/p>\n
David Buckley was superb for MTU Cork in attack as he scored 0-5, three efforts from play, and they trailed 0-7 to 0-4 at the interval.<\/p>\n
Following traded points in the early moments from Michael Gallagher and MTU corner-forward Dylan O\u2019Connor, Ulster University created some daylight with back-to-back scores courtesy of Michael McGleenan and Ruairi Slane.<\/p>\n
Ruairi Gormley and Niall Loughlin added to the Ulster men\u2019s tally, but their Leesiders kept themselves in touch with a spectacular two-point salvo from impressive centre-forward Buckley.<\/p>\n
Yet, even though the Cork native grabbed his third of the night at the tail end of the opening period, Ulster University brought a 0-7 to 0-4 cushion into the interval after Loughlin (\u201945\u2019) and captain Mark McKearney had found the range.<\/p>\n
Although it initially remained delicately poised on the resumption, Loughlin subsequently shook the net on 44 minutes to create significant daylight in the contest.<\/p>\n
This threw down the gauntlet to MTU, but in spite of Buckley continuing to lead the way for the Leesiders, Jones ventured forward from defence to grab a 50th-minute goal that ultimately placed the outcome beyond doubt.<\/p>\n
The quarter-final line-up is now completed for the 2022 Sigerson Cup with the draw to take place tomorrow for next week\u2019s last eight fixtures.<\/p>\n
