“It’s something that has come about over the last month,” explained Finn, who hopes to play on for at least another two years at the UCD Bowl. “It’s something that’s exciting at my age, the opportunity to go back and do a Masters and finish where it all began. “It’s funny, when I left UCD back in 2009 I always said I would come back.
