 Rival's UCD beat DCU in the quarter-final of the Ashburn Cup in DCU Sports Grounds on Tuesday evening by a score of 114-25. With the scores tied at 17-24 it was UCD who pulled away in the second half to make their first semi-final in four years. Alright so first of all there's obviously a big rivalry playing against DCU so what does the win mean? It means everything like we've worked so hard like since we've been training since October and we had a few bad matches against UL and WIT and we just came out here and just said we give everything we didn't have anything to lose so just gave everything it means we're so happy. What's the biggest difference was in the end then? I think we just wanted it more like it means everything to the girls there's a few of them there, there are a few years and we haven't made it to Ashburn semi-finals for I think four years or something like that and we've been in the shields and stuff so we just said we give everything and we're just delighted to be there now on Saturday. DCU's Kira Egan described what she thought the difference was where in the second half. Probably their touch was much better they were probably ahead of the ball a lot more than we were and I think after the first half once they started getting a few scores our heads just kind of dropped and then that was it they took it from there. And you think you had the early lead at the start of the first half so what was the team thinking out of that stage? I don't know maybe UCD just got more focused then and then they knew how to deal with going behind more than we did and then we thought we were more ahead than they actually were and then we just dropped our heads. After an early goal for DCU it was UCD who came fighting back in the second half to win convincingly. DCU will now finish their season with the defence of the shield on Saturday.
