UCD, CORK IT and Limerick IT all booked Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final places after today’s group stage action.
The second round of group games saw UCD and Cork IT both triumphed to ensure they both will qualify from Group A. The two colleges meet next Tuesday evening in Cork in a game that will determine who gets a home quarter-final placing.
Goals from Oisin O’Rorke and Colm Cronin were central to UCD’s win at Belfield. Manager Nicky English saw his lead narrowly by 0-7 to 0-6 at half-time before they got a second-half boost with those goals from Dublin duo O’Rorke, who hit 1-6 overall, and Cronin.
