Luckily the affair was an indoors event to keep them warm and limber. We had 2 two teams taking on the city of the tribes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All our girls started off their days with a bang. UL1 completely dominated trinity 2 with a whopping 14-0 win. UL2 were also straight out of the blocks showing that they can play on any team with a dominating win over UCC 3. Both teams striving to top their groups however UL2 were not so fortunate losing their second game to UCD. Nonetheless UL1 power on and bageled(wining without letting the other team score)\u00a0 DCU 13-0.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With both teams well establishing themselves in their grips both UL teams win their 3<sup>rd<\/sup> group games with UL1 taking top seed of their group and UL2 finishing second in their group.UL2 had to play a crossover and were drawn against DCU. DCU stood no chance and were easily pushed aside by our girls and them taking 6<sup>th<\/sup> seed in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A taut moment as UL1 and UL2 had to play each other in the quarter final. There is no game more competitive than playing against your fellow teammates. It\u2019s always a sore loss hence why both teams fought their hearts out. Fortunately for UL1 their experience and patient offence was enough for UL2 to succumb to UL1. Both teams were exhausted and truly gave it their all. Despite the tiredness the day still had much more excitement to come. UL1\u2019s semi-final was against their arch nemesis UCC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The girls played remarkable with the best offence and man defence I\u2019ve seen this year. Unfortunately not even this was enough to take down the might of UCC. Their coach \u2018King of Mixed\u2019 couldn\u2019t be prouder with the attitude and performance shown by both teams so far in the day with only one game left each.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>UL2\u2019s final game was against UCC2. They knew it wasn\u2019t going to be easy UCC are never a push over. It became clear how difficult the fight for the best second team would be as they went 4-1 down. But did they drop their heads \u2026 no they continued to sweat, tire and fight on. They were so clinical on offense and super tight on defence. They brought thy game back to being level. Not only that but they powered on only letting UCC2 score one more point going on an 8 scores to 1 run clenching the game 9-5. UL2 had a super day. They were the best finishing second team of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>UL1\u2019s 3<sup>rd<\/sup> 4<sup>th<\/sup> place playoff was against Galway. And boy don\u2019t you know that UL like to be involved in intense games. Both teams shot out of the blocks fighting for every disc. Nothing was easy and every point was treasured. It was the closest game of the tournament with both teams trading points the whole way up and several lead changes throughout. The buzzer had gone and the scores were level. It came down to this universe point. A floaty disc was put into Galway\u2019s end zone, it wasn\u2019t looking good but out of nowhere a UL hand raises up ripping the disc out of the air and the win too. Both teams had a brilliant day and super results.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_16222\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"16222\" style=\"\"><i
