Harps undone at the death by defected Dignam strike

UCD 2-1 Finn Harps

It will be a long trip home to Donegal for Finn Harps tonight after they conceded a last minute winner against William O’Connor’s UCD at Belfield.

Harps were second best in the first half and conceded in the 27th minute when Niall Holohan found the net.

The students went close again after that and the Ballybofey side were fortunate to be only one goal down at the break.

Conor Tourish hobbled off with an injury for Finn Harps but they equalised in the 68th minute when Tony McNamee set up Bernardo Monteiro to score.

It looked like both sides would have to settle for a draw but UCD stunned the away side in the 95th minute when Louis Dignam’s shot deflected into the net.

The result sees Kevin McHugh’s Harps drop to eighth in the table.
