33/1 outsiders Trinity are on the brink of a massive Collingwood Cup upset

TCD face UCC in the final tomorrow.

TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN shocked favourites UCD to keep their Collingwood Cup fairytale alive.

Darren O’Donoghue’s goal proved the difference as Trinity — who started the week as 33/1 outsiders — stunned their Dublin rivals 1-0 and booked their place in the final.

A win tomorrow would only be Trinity’s third in the competition and their first since 1979, ending a 36-year wait.

They will face UCC who edged a dramatic finish to the day’s other semi-final. Jason Abbott scored the only goal four minutes from time as the Corkmen left it late before stunning hosts NUI Galway.

The final kicks off in Eamonn Deacy Park at 4pm tomorrow.
