Eventful finale for Murphy as Cork IT stun holders

Cork IT 2-12 NUI Galway0-17

As the clock ticked down, Murphy was sent to the line following an incident with NUIG skipper Pat Kelly and could now miss the remainder of the competition.

NUI Galway, who started with 11 of last year’s victorious side, had a horrible start and were shell-shocked as Patrick O’Connell, Lorcan McLoughlin and two frees from Ryan Clifford saw CIT lead by four points after five minutes.
