Report

The Student Sport Ireland Women’s Volleyball Tier 1 Cup Final between NUI Galway and Royal College of Surgeons Ireland was postponed, presumably due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, which led to the government cancelling all sporting activity from March until mid-July 2020.

NUI Galway had earlier defeated IT Carlow in the semi-finals, and Royal College of Surgeons had knocked out Technological University of Dublin City Campus and Maynooth University.
