19 Jan 2026

Division 1 – Munster Senior Cup (First Round)

UCC 5–0 Waterford

A frosty start at the Mardyke caused a short delay, but once underway, UCC’s Division 1 side delivered a confident and clinical opening round performance in the Munster Senior Cup.

UCC set the tone early and maintained control throughout, with goals from:

• Micaela Sanderson (10')
• Ella Lehane (32')
• Nicole Clarke (45')
• Captain Lauren Cripps (60')
• Emma O’Sullivan (62')

Despite the scoreline, Waterford’s goalkeeper produced an outstanding display and definitely Player of the Match.

Div 3/4 Combined Cup – Semi-Final

UCC Division 3A vs Tipperary

UCC 3A advanced to the Combined Cup final after a composed, well‑structured performance against a determined Tipperary side.

A strong defensive showing from Tipperary kept the game tight until Oonagh Grimley broke the deadlock. UCC’s second goal was a superb example of textbook team play—building from a hit‑out, worked smartly up the right hand side of the pitch, and finished brilliantly by Jill Roberts.

Coach Jim White was full of praise for the squad’s discipline, teamwork, and execution.

Division 2 League

UCC 4–0 Clonakilty

UCC’s Division 2 team continued their excellent league form with a composed 4–0 win over Clonakilty. The visitors defended bravely and held UCC at bay until the third quarter, thanks largely to another impressive goalkeeping effort from the Clonakilty keeper.

Once UCC found the breakthrough, they controlled the remainder of the match.

Goals:

• Giselle Keogh
• Anna Collins (2)
• Sophie Pomeroy
