Sheehan strikes late as CIT see off Erin’s Own

Cork IT 2-14 Erin’s Own 1-13

It came at a stage when Erin’s Own had clawed their way back into the contest after being six points down early in the second-half, and, had they showed a bit more penetration, may well have shocked last year’s beaten finalists.

Making light of the fact six of their players had lined out with their clubs earlier in the day, CIT served notice with a brace of points inside the opening minute. Erin’s Own struggled to contain the lively CIT forwards and with the college defence, superbly led by Mark Ellis and Eamon Finn, on top, the Erin’s Own side found scores hard to come by.
