Depleted WIT still strong enough to clinch double

Waterford IT 1-18 Cork IT 1-10

The fact that victory was achieved without such established regulars as Rory Jacob, Brian Dowling, Kevin Moran, Keith Rossiter and three-goal Fitzgibbon hero Willie Ryan, emphasises the strength in depth in the Waterford college.

Cork IT were facing an uphill battle once they conceded a very soft goal in the 26th minute at a bitterly cold Ballygunner.
