Damian Barton won an All-Ireland medal with Derry in 1993

UUJ 0-13 1-8 Athlone IT

Jordanstown produced a solid performance to defeat Athlone IT by two points in Wednesday's Sigerson Cup clash.

Damian Barton's UUJ side led by only a point at the interval (0-6 to 0-5) but an accomplished second half performance put them in control of the match.

Athlone grabbed their goal in injury-time to cut UUJ's lead to two points but time then ran out for the home side.

Winning manager Barton picked out full-back Gerry O'Reilly as one of his team's most impressive performers.

"He was very solid but overall, it was very much a team effort and we got the job done," said Barton.

Impressive midfielder Philip Loughran weighed in with two points while in-form Derry star Paddy Bradley top-scored with three points.

The win earns Jordanstown a quarter-final tussle against St Mary's which will take place on the opening day of the Sigerson weekendin Cork next month.

Former Derry star Barton was a student at St Mary's in the early 1980s.
