C of I quick to dash Institute’s hopes of glory

A DISASTROUS eight-minute spell which saw them concede five times proved the undoing of Catholic Institute’s hopes of claiming a shock Munster Senior Cup final victory at Rosbrien yesterday.

The Limerick club were hoping for a repeat of their last victory in this tournament, which came in 1985 on the grass at Garryduff over the same opposition.

But despite staying the pace for the first-half, and going in just 2-1 down at the break, Ollie O’Connor’s side needlessly gave C of I the short corner chances they required to wrap up a deserved victory.
