Georgie Kelly was sent off today, but his UCD side struck a dramatic win over hosts Queen’s University in the Rustlers IUFU Collingwood Cup final.
Daire O’Connor’s injury time goal gave UCD a 2-1 win over the hosts, Queen’s.
Timmy Molloy had given the Dublin side the lead midway through the first half before Ronan Young equalised on the stroke of half-time with an excellent free kick.
Drama ensued before the interval when striker Kelly was sent off for a late challenge. Both sides went at it in the second half and there were chances to win it before O’Connor settled it with extra time looming.
O’Connor picked the ball up outside the box 20 yards out on the left flank.
He drove inside and curled the ball into the far corner to send the UCD bench into pandemonium and delivered their 47th Collingwood Cup success.
