NUI Galway will meet UL in the decider next week.

A fantastic year on the field just keeps getting better for Rory Egan and Cathal Donoghue.

All-Ireland U20 success in the back pocket and now a Sigerson Cup final for the duo.

Both started at wing-back and wing-forward respectively this evening as NUIG needed extra-time to see off MTU-Kerry in the last four.

Egan played the full match with his usual gusto, doing an excellent job on Paul O'Shea. O'Donoghue emptied the tank in his usual all-action manner before being called ashore in the 51st minute.

Tommy Conroy inspired NUIG from the sidelines to reach the @ElectricIreland Sigerson Cup..

Captain Matthew Tierney paid tribute to Conroy after the extra-time win over MTU Kerry.

Portarlington's Jake Foster came off the bench for the Munster side, one of only two non-Kerry panelists who saw action on the night.

The stars of the show on either side were probably Galway's Matthew Tierney and Kerry's Eoin Brosnan, who combined for 0-16 (13f).

The final score after extra-time was:

NUIG 0-18 0-15 MTU-Kerry
