Kehoe Cup/ DIT 0-13 Meath 2-6: Substitute Kieran Bergin was DIT's hero as the students pulled off a shock by knocking holders Meath out of the Kehoe Cup at Páirc Tailteann, Navan, yesterday.

Bergin replaced Martin Phelan, who had picked up a yellow card after contributing four points to his side's 0-6 to 0-5 interval advantage, and scored six second-half points.

Meath looked as if they would repeat last term's semi-final win over the college side with second-half goals from Aengus Mulvihill, but they were undone by two late points from Bergin.

DIT: D Minnock; J Moran, J Doran, L Burke; S Wallace, W Lyons, M McEvoy; J O'Loughlin, T Frisby; B McEvoy (0-2), T Browne, G Keogh; N Kelly, M Phelan (0-4, yellow card), M Divilly (0-1). Subs: K Bergin (0-6) for Phelan, E Connolly for Divilly, S Harding for Keogh.
