TU DUBLIN CAME from six points down at the break to beat UL on penalties in the only Sigerson Cup game this evening to survive adverse weather conditions.
Hosts UL led 1-9 to 1-3 at the break, with Darragh Cashman and Kevin Callaghan trading goals for the home and away sides respectively.
TU, however, surged into a second-half lead with the help of a second goal by Callaghan and a further green flag raised by Cian Grimes. An unanswered spell of 2-5 pushed them into a 3-8 to 1-10 lead — only for UL to come back from the dead late on.
Limerick’s John Hayes pointed, as did Clare’s Emmett McMahon, and two last-gasp scores by Paul Keaney and Ciaran Downes forced extra-time.

UL’s Aaron Griffin again levelled proceedings at the tail-end of an extra period in which six points were shared.
TU, however, finally got over the line on penalties, winning the shootout 3-1 with Sean Guiden, Shane Cunnane and Killian McGinnis all finding the net.
The other four games scheduled for tonight were earlier postponed due to weather conditions and have instead been re-scheduled for Thursday.
Queen’s University against DCU in Belfast — a game due to be livestreamed — was postponed along with the meetings of ATU Sligo and St Mary’s Belfast, UCD against University of Galway, and Maynooth University against MTU Cork.
Elsewhere, the throw-in times for this year’s Munster senior hurling championship have been confirmed.
There will be ten round-robin games, commencing on 23 April. The venues for Waterford’s home matches have yet to be finalised.
