Cork IT survive St Mary’s test despite Kerrigan dismissal

FOUR points in the final six minutes at the Moorefield grounds in Newbridge yesterday fired Cork IT into a mouth-watering Sigerson Cup quarter-final with O’Byrne Cup finalists DCU.

The fixture was switched at the 11th hour from St Conleth’s Park and the heavy underfoot conditions brought about by the morning’s rain made it very difficult for attractive football.

The champions were made to work hard by a resolute St Mary’s. They clearly frustrated their illustrious opponents and though trailing by 0-4 to 0-2 at the interval, found their belief growing as the game progressed.
