Cronin and Halbert put UCC on road to victory

TWO goals in a minute by Pa Cronin and John Halbert gave UCC a flattering five point victory in an entertaining All-Ireland Freshers hurling league semi-final at the Farm yesterday.

Ten minutes from time CIT were shaping up as likely winners with a four point lead, but UCC pounced for two goals and eased to victory.

With a liberal sprinkling of Cork U21 players on both teams, the standard in this derby was extremely high. UCC emerged winner due to a slightly better balanced attack.
