JORDANSTOWN are through to tomorrow’s Sigerson Cup final after a eight point semi-final win over UCD at Queen’s University playing fields in Belfast today.
Jordanstown will play UCC in a repeat of the 2011 final in tomorrow evening’s clash.
UUJ led UCD by 1-10 to 0-2 at half-time with a strong wind and driving rain at their backs in the first-half, Armagh’s Jamie Clarke scoring the only goal of the game after four minutes.
Monaghan player Kieran Hughes top-scored with 0-5 over the hour’s play while Tyrone’s Ronan O’Neill, Conor McAlliskey and Mattie Donnelly hit 0-5 between them.

Jamie Clarke received a black card on 59 minutes for a deliberate trip, but the game was long over as a contest. The GAA trialled a new clock and hooter system in today’s semi-final double-bill at the Dub.
Fermanagh referee Martin Higgins did not recognise the sound of the hooter at the end of Jordanstown’s game and played 21 seconds over the allotted time at the end of the game.
Both sides only scored two points against a very difficult wind in the second-half, although conditions did ease somewhat in the second half. UUJ led by 1-7 before UCD got their first score after 21 minutes, through a free from Dublin All-Ireland winner Paul Mannion.
Westmeath midfielder John Heslin went on to hit 0-4 for UCD, three from frees, but the damage had been done early in the game by Adrian McGuckin’s UUJ side.
