🔵 Women’s Div 7

UCC 3A 3 – 0 C of I
Sunday delivered the match of the weekend.
With a win, UCC 3A would secure the league title outright. C of I had strengthened their squad in an effort to stay up, but UCC rose to the occasion and produced arguably their performance of the season.

🏆 Headline of the Weekend
With Div 1, Div 2, and now Div 3A all securing league titles, it has been an exceptional season across the board for the club.
Even more impressively, all three title‑winning teams remain alive in their respective cup competitions, joined by the Division 7 side who are also still competing.
The men continue their strong campaign with places in both the McClean Cup and the Munster Junior Cup, while the Div 3A women have reached the Combined 3/4 Cup Final. The Div 2 Women are still firmly in the hunt for the Examiner Cup, keeping the club’s hopes of multiple trophies very much alive as the season enters its final stretch.
🔵 Men’s Division 1
Midleton 3 – 4 UCC Men
The men travelled to Midleton for a tight league match. In a nail‑biting finish, UCC scored a last‑minute winner to take all three points.

🔵 Women’s Div 2
Cork Harlequins 3 – 3 UCC
The Div 2 team, unbeaten all season and usually dominant, were held to a hard‑fought 3–3 draw. A strong Harlequins side ensured UCC had to work for every inch.
Despite the draw, the squad remain in excellent form and already have their league title secured.
