Replying To letsgetgoing: "UCD very lucky to win the Sigerson cup semi final against TU Dublin tonight who were without their best player Colm Basquel. Very poor shot selection and application by both sets of forwards resulted in a very low scoring game which ended 1-7 (UCD) to 0-10 (TUD) after extra time. (Only 5 points each after full time)
After 5 penalties each it was 3-3 and went to sudden death. After 8 penalties each, UCD won it 5-4 with a Ben O' Carroll penalty. (He had missed an earlier one!) Daire Cregg played the full 60 minutes but did not reappear in extra time and did not take a penalty. Ben O Carroll came on at half time and also played the full extra time. Neither player were on top form and could do with a break.
Hopefully Daire is not injured or carrying an injury as he has looked a tired player recently. The Sigerson Cup final is scheduled for next Wednesday, so I can't really see either player starting against Monaghan who also have a couple of UCD players.
I doubt Ulster University or DCU who play tomorrow night will be shaking in their boots after tonight's match."
Agree on Daire, I think only bring him on vs Monaghan if we need to and hopefully we can give him a rest vs Westmeath Cavan etc. I'd like to see Senan Lambe given a start against Monaghan as a game like that will be where we see it lads are up to it.

Daire Cregg pulled up with an injury on 48 minutes and was subbed off sooner after. Probably won't play the final next Wednesday and doubtful for the Monaghan match. Such a poor game where both teams left their shooting boots at home and whoever won was going to be lucky but UCD the most lucky considering they got a goal from point effort that the TU Dublin keeper dropped into the net

Very poor game last night. Looked like nerves got the better of some of these lads. Cregg kicked good score early on but didn't do much after that. It was a defenders game last night. Ben got on some ball and snatched at a couple of shots one he dropped short and probably should be scoring. As long as they stay injury free Il be happy and if I was burke I probably wouldnt start either of them against Monaghan
