DONEGAL STAR MICHAEL Murphy made a winning start as a manager today as Letterkenny IT won out in their debut Sigerson Cup.
Murphy saw his charges triumph 1-17 to 3-4 away to Athlone IT and the success sets up a quarter-final tie next weekend away to IT Sligo, who saw off UL today by 0-8 to 0-5 in their first round game.
IT Carlow enjoyed a successful trip to Kerry as they defeated IT Tralee by 3-9 to 1-13. Despite trailing 1-10 to 0-7 in the 49th minute, the Carlow outfit notched three late goals to win out against a Tralee team who featured Kerry attacking star David Clifford. Their reward is a trip to Cork to face reigning champions UCC who overturned NUI Galway.
UCD required extra-time before seeing off Ulster University by 0-13 to 0-11 and they’ll now entertain St Mary’s, victorious by 11 points today against Maynooth University. DCU will take on Queen’s University in the remaining quarter-final clash after they won their games over the weekend.
