On Sunday, Tom Kingston's men started as they meant to go on, a gifted Shane Conway cutting loose and firing them to a six point victory over the reigning champions UL in their own back yard.
Point made.
On Wednesday they had to back it up and that they did. UCD, on the back of a draw with NUIG at the weekend travelled down to the Mardyke with high expectations but they were sent straight back down the drawing board by a rampant UCC side.
UCC have a very strong panel this year, which includes Cork seniors Mark Coleman, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Shane Kingston, Sean Hayes, Robbie O'Flynn, Tipperary seniors, Paddy Caddell, Mark Kehoe and Killian O'Dwyer, highly rated Kerry talent Shane Conway and Kilkenny's Conor Browne.
At half-time, the home side were up by five and they drove it home in the second, Tipperary senior Mark Kehoe scoring the first goal and Waterford's Neil Montgomery blasting in the second to seal a 2-21 to 1-13 victory.
With NUIG to come next week, this was supposed to be the group of death, but UCC will go into that game with their place in the quarter finals secure and with plenty of backers to go on and win the whole thing.
