Since Shamrock Rovers was so dominant, a double was natural expectation – Rovers had only to beat University College Dublin at the Cup final. A mere formality, for UCD never won anything and having strong season meant 6th place for them. But that is why football is great: UCD managed a scoreless tie in the final and after 0-0 in the first match, did better in the replay, winning 2-1.
May be UCD surprised even themselves, for such historic victory left almost no record.
One can glimpse a bit of the game, but no proud photo of the winners on their site. A pity, for this is very rare triumph: UCD not only did not win anything before, but did not win anything else since.
