UCD looking for a setting its sights in a long stay


Manager Colin O’ Neill is looking forward to a long stay in the top circuit of the Premier Division in the League of Ireland. After his Students did the ultimate of feats of netting their direct promotion into the top circuit. 

With a young squad to face off the competition in what looks to be another contested edition in the SSE Airtricity, UCD is ready to face off its array of challenges this association will bring to all of its squads in this 2019.

In spite of this club being silent in the transfers market, for manager O’ Neill he is confident with his young squad and its majority of its players that earned them their promotion by making a comeback.

For sure, this squad will look for its long permanency. 

The possibilities abound in this campaign are endless and seeing the likes of Daire O’ Connor going to Cork City for manager O’ Neill is back to business and looking forward to see from his young squad perform a notable campaign. 

In spite of all the squads in Airtricity arming themselves an armada, manager O’ Neill is confident of his squad plagued with young lads is ready to rock the foundations of this association entering into what looks a state of total competition. 

With many new players reinforcing many squads coming especially from England’s Championship and Premiership associations that for sure, will elevate the levels in the LOI. 

For UCD returning to pre-season and with renewed hopes of making a total impact in the top tier, as the Students are in good spirits and the excitement from everyone in the squad is visible as well they are focus on putting in display a one of a kind campaign. 

After last year displaying a one of a kind campaign winning their promotion, then Universities and Colleges league and the Collingwood Cup giving this young club a taste of what is to win a piece of silverware. 

Still the path to a prolific and successful run in the SSE will be one amazing challenge that manger Colin O’ Neill and company must prepare ahead and see it a some way of having fun and taking each game one match at a time. 

So far, the College has caught the eye from newcomer Republic of Ireland U-21’s manager Stephen Kenny and with Neil Farrugia, Liam Scales and Connor Kearns very well for Richie O’ Farrell being the captain of the U-19.

In the end, the return of Captain Gary O’ Neill adding the potential of Neil Farrugia, Liam Scales and Connor Kearns for sure will be a boost of confidences for this club and seeking to score a number of upsets in the end. 

For UCD this campaign forget a run for the top four but do not discard or underestimate the push of this group of dreamers looking forward to go against the odds of being a long shoot. To conclude a successful 2019 campaign this club can fight for its permanency and see the light of another campaign in the League of Ireland Premier Division.
