First-half surge sees LIT advance

LIMERICK IT nailed down a Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final berth at Moylish yesterday and left this year’s hosts on the brink of missing the finals weekend.

After drawing with UCD, WIT travelled to Shannonside seeking a win to rescue their campaign. Instead this defeat means they must hope LIT can do them a massive favour in their final group clash with UCD next week.

If LIT triumph in that game by more than three points, WIT make the last eight on scoring difference. But if UCD manage to better that result, the Belfield outfit will go through at WIT’s expense.
