Stroll in the park for top class UCC

UCC 3-19 GMIT 0-8: The sight of Conor Lehane, Alan Cadogan and Shane O’Donnell being clapped off the field midway through the second-half painted a most accurate picture of this stroll in the park for UCC.

As far as Fitzgibbon Cup openers come, the Cork University couldn’t have asked for much more on home turf yesterday — 22 scores posted, only four points from open play conceded, the full compliment of subs employed and maximum points secured ahead of their second assignment in Galway next week.

Manager Ger Cunningham had very few complaints when reflecting on this 20-point mauling. “We hit three goals and we could have possibly hit six or seven,” said Cunningham.
