With Col\u00e1iste Stiof\u00e1in Naofa steam rolling UCC in their opener 5-0, UL knew that they would have to be top of their game to overcome the Leesiders. Down key players, UL didn\u2019t sulk and Ian O\u2019Sullivan and Mike Mc Carthy\u2019s men attacked the task in hand.<\/p>\n

UL launched their league campaign with a hard fought draw against IT Carlow and a win would put the Wolve\u2019s in a great position. Debutante Ian Fletcher opened the scoring for UL after 20 minutes on the clock, with crafty work Aidan McGrath. UL really took control of this match and with 25 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

A booming ball from Ross O\u2019Toole dropped to Garbhan Coughlan who covered more ground than Saint Brigid\u2019s cloak, showing his class, he nonchalantly lobbed the on rushing CSN keeper and secured all three points. It was party football for the remaining 20 plus minutes and UL could even keep everyone happy by emptying the bench.<\/p>\n
