The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)'s Sports Grounds, in Dardistown, Dublin, was the venue for the 2013 Sherlock Cup challenge match. The game was contested between graduates and the soccer club of RCSI on Friday 2nd March. The game ended in a 2-2 draw with the graduate's side eventually winning on penalties.

Jamie Phillips, a Pharmacy student, opened the scoring before, graduate, Eoin O'Conchuir equalised. In the second half, Jamie Phillips reinstated the student's lead before Thomas 'The Mink' O'Carroll levelled once again. The RCSI Graduates came out on top, winning 5-4 in a penalty shootout.

Jim Sherlock, Head Porter, RCSI, who was at the game said, "It was nice to see such a close and entertaining game go all the way to the wire and then be decided on penalties. From a spectator's point of view, it was a great match. Well done to both teams."

The game coincides with the upcoming launch of the RCSI Gathering 2013, a Celebration of RCSI - Past, Present and Future. From 12th to 14th September 2013, RCSI is welcoming its alumni back to Ireland to reconnect with old friends and colleagues and celebrate RCSI's unique heritage and global connections.
