Naughton strike secures bragging rights for CIT

A HECTIC hurling battle in yesterday’s Fitzgibbon Cup clash in CIT ended with the home side thankful to Cathal Naughton’s second-half intervention for settling the issue.

The match had assumed the look of one that goals would have a big bearing on, long before the 46th minute when Naughton pounced.

His Newtownshandrum club-mate Jack Herlihy flighted in a long ball that Naughton rose to touch down, before whipping past Anthony Nash into the far corner of the UCC net.
