MTU Kerry sent traditional giants UCC packing from the Sigerson Cup with a surprise 2-15 to 2-8 Round 2B victory in Tralee last night.

Hammered by DCU in the opening round, the hosts produced an inspired display, leading by 0-8 to 0-4 at half-time before goals from Keith Evans and Conor O'Sullivan propelled them into a 2-10 to 0-6 lead after 48 minutes. Substitute Cian McMahon and Killian Falvey hit late consolation goals for UCC.

There is another busy evening ahead with four Round 2A and three Round 2B ties down for decision.

Fresh from an impressive first round victory away to ATU Sligo, holders Ulster University travel to Abbotstown to meet UL in Round 2A. It’s do-or-die in Round 2B where the three losers will join UCC in exiting the competition.
