Leading players from the colleges competing in the concluding stages of the 2022 Yoplait HEC third-level Championships gathered on Thursday, March 3, at Dublin City University’s St Patrick’s Campus, ahead of a bumper festival of third-level football.  

The Ladies HEC (Higher Education Colleges) is also pleased to confirm live coverage of all seven finals – with three scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, to coincide with International Women’s Day. 

After a two-year absence, the Finals are set to return and third-level Championship silverware will be handed out for the first time since 2019, with Dublin City University as hosts for the 2022 semi-finals and Finals.  

The 2020 and 2021 competitions were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the Championships have returned with a bang – and with a new sponsor in Yoplait Ireland. 

The Yoplait Donaghy, Lagan and McHale Cup Finals will be played next Tuesday, before attention switches to Friday March 11, with the Moynihan Cup Final down for decision, along with the Yoplait O’Connor Cup, Giles Cup and Lynch Cup semi-finals.  

On Saturday, March 12, the Yoplait O’Connor Cup, Giles Cup and Lynch Cup winners will be confirmed.  

The Yoplait O’Connor Cup Final will be shown live on the Spórt TG4 YouTube page, while the other six Finals will be live on the LGFA’s Facebook Page and on the LGFA’s Official YouTube channel.

In the showpiece Yoplait O’Connor Cup, the semi-finals will see hosts DCU Dóchas Éireann, who captured the Division 1 League title last December, up against UCC, as UL, the Yoplait O’Connor Cup holders, take on NUI Galway.  

Updates from the Yoplait Ladies HEC Championship semi-finals and Finals will be available on the LGFA’s various social media channels, using the hashtag #AlwaysBelieve, and also check out the Ladies HEC Twitter feed.
