TWO goals within minutes of the restart were the decisive scores in this entertaining Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final at the Mardyke yesterday.

Thu, 21 Feb, 2008 - 00:00

University College Cork 3-16 St. Pats/Mater Dei 1-15 Brendan Larkin

The teams went in at the interval level at 10 points each after being level 10 times, but goals by John Halbert and Stephen Moylan in the 34th and 36th minutes changed the complexion of the game.
