A late goal from Armagh man Sean Rock put a gloss on St Mary's victory over Queen's University in the first round of the Electric Ireland Sigerson Cup.

Rock's brilliantly taken goal capped a fine turn-around for St Mary's who trailled at half-timeby 1-6 to 0-7 in this local derby clash at Davitts GAA ground in Belfast.

A goal from Ryan McQuillan gave Queen's the upper hand in the early stages but St Mary's showed their character to turn the game in their favour.

Check out Rock's goal on the Electric Ireland Higher Education stream below at 1.42.42.

The Ranch won the second half by 1-7 to 0-3, finishing strongly to book a second round clash with TUD. Rock was the star of the show kicking 1-3.

DCU, UL and reigning champs Ulster University were arguably the most impressive victors in Round One, having recorded convincing wins. Last year's beaten finalists UCD showed their abilities once again, defeating UCC by five points.

With Sam Callinan, Daire Cregg, Donncha Gilmore and Barry McNulty in their ranks, John Divilly's side have plenty of high calibre players.
