GMIT secure last eight spot with gutsy victory

GMIT’s encouraging Fitzgibbon Cup campaign continued at Innisfalls GAA Club yesterday where they beat UUJ. and set up a quarter-final meeting next Tuesday with UCC.

Having surprised St Patrick’s-Mater Dei, GMIT were forced to deal with a gutsy UUJ display. The Galway students were struggling to contain a lively Jordanstown forward line who benefited from a shoot on sight policy as they opened up a 0-7 to 0-3 lead by the 19th minute.

Corner-forward Paddy Henry was especially effective for the underdogs, while bustling centre-forward Frank Corvan was accurate too.
