Champions UCC are within an hour of retaining their Fitzgibbon Cup title after a comprehensive defeat of UCD in sun-splashed Carnmore yesterday, a powerful second half enough to defeat Nicky English’s charges.

Tipperary’s Noel McGrath was the star of the show as UCD advanced to the quarter-finals of the Fitzgibbon Cup at the expense of WIT at Carriganore last night.

Cork IT served notice they’ll challenge strongly for Fitzgibbon Cup honours by outclassing a strong UCD outfit in a high quality game at Belfield last night.
