O’Shaughnessy stars as focused GMIT upset CIT

PUMPED up from the off, strong and focused and playing controlled hurling to the finish, Galway/Mayo IT won a compelling Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final at CIT yesterday, making it a hugely disappointment day for the home side who host the semi-finals and final the weekend after next.

But a victory to savour for the westerners — into their first semi-finals — and no wonder selector Cathal Murray was elated.

“I’m thrilled for the lads, they worked really hard and to come down to Cork and beat CIT on their own patch makes it even better.
