UCD won the big game of the day with a 13-0 victory over divisional rivals West Dublin Rhinos at Belfield. A TD in each half was enough to clinch victory for UCD, who now move to 2-1.
In IAFL-1, it all came down to the wire in Waterford, who scored a field goal with 15 seconds to go to clinch their first win of the season – over Dundalk. Meanwhile, in Navan, the Cork Admirals continued on their unbeaten run with a 28-13 win over the Bulldogs in an entertaining game.
Newcomers, Derry/Donegal Vipers have to be congratulated on completing their first ever competitive game. The scoreline does not matter – they are on the losing side of a heavy defeat by Belfast’s 2nd team. What’s important is that they’ve overcome the many hurdles to get a team on the field and are getting valuable experience for the future. Elsewhere in IAFL-2, Galway won at home to South Kildare to open their second season with a win.
