Institute hand out finishing lesson

CORK’S finest are running out of time to catch Catholic Institute, after the Limerick side showed off their clinical short corner conversion ability with a 5-1 win over UCC at The Mardyke on Saturday.

Despite missing two of their most experienced campaigners in Áine Donegan and Ali O’Connor, College werea match for Insta — who were without Róisin Upton but welcomed back Elaine Bromell — in most areas, but were handed a harsh lesson in chance conversion.

The students led through Julie Coyne’s corner bash but Eimear Cregan did likewise to cancel it out before Claire Sullivan’s skilful scooped half-volley — coming after Kym Daly’s surging break down the right — put Insta on the front foot at the break.
