AIB LEAGUE DIVISION ONE BLACKROCK 11 UCD 13 A LAST-minute penalty by out-half Eoghan Hickey sealed a nip-and-tuck win for UCD in a tense and entertaining match. Stephen Grissing provided the highlight with a well-taken try after 14 minutes. Eoghan Hickey added the conversion and a later penalty to give the students a slender half-time lead.
Out-half Paddy O'Toole contributed Rock's only points with an early penalty but substitute Alan Henry scored a magnificent try just after the resumption to give Rock a one point lead.
But Rock made a total mess of a 15 metre drop-out after 60 minutes and a penalty on the drop-out spot was easily slotted by Hickey. Later Alan Henry converted a penalty but the final nail in the coffin came right on full time courtesy once again of Hickey.
