Cian Duggan of TUS Midlands and UCC’s Padraig O’Brien are among those pictured in action during last week’s Division 1 freshers football semi-final in Athlone. TUS Midlands freshers book final place with decisive winTUS Midlands 2-20 UCC 1-11By Eamon A. DonoghueOn a historic night, TUS Midlands blew away their UCC opponents to secure a place in the Electric Ireland Freshers Football Championship Division 1 final with ease in Athlone last Thursday. From the outset of the campaign, it was obvious that this was a strong TUS freshers team - a team that could contest for the title. Then they put another nail in the Cork college coffin as Corcoran scored their second goal and it was coming. Tubberclair’s Paul Keegan kicked a good score and Duggan kicked a brace of points from frees to extend their seemingly unassailable lead.
