There’s never been a better time to join UCDBC or the Ad Astra Academy. The university has gone from strength to strength and is in the best position it has ever been in regardless of sport or career ambition. I’m happy to call them family and will do so for the rest of my career

— Andrew Goff (@agoff97) January 27, 2019

Joining UCDBC and applying to the Ad Astra Academy was undoubtably the most pivotal decision in my life. For the rest of my career I will be glad I joined. I am delighted to consider myself part of the UCDBC and Ad Astra family. Without them I would not be where I am today.

UCD is the place to go to make the step up from junior to under 23.
