The Sigerson Cup game between NUI Galway and Ulster University was abandoned last night due to injury.

58 minutes into the game in Dublin, Galway's Sean Mulkerrin suffered a knee injury.

NUIG were awarded the win as they were leading when the injury occurred.

However, it's understood the win will have to be confirmed at a CCC meeting this evening, after the committee receives the referee's report.

NUI Galway manager Maurice Sheridan said it was a very unfortunate injury as Sean Mulkerrin is a great player and ambassador for the club.

The score when the game was called off was NUI Galway 1-10, Ulster University 2-5, with

Mayo's Tommy Conroy among those scoring for the Galway side.
