Cork IT seal top spot in style

THEY may have been safely ensconced in the Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-finals before throw-in, but that did not impinge on Cork IT’s focus against Dublin IT yesterday.

The home side were intent on nailing down the top spot in Group B and achieved that in style with a nine-point winning margin illustrative of the standard of hurling they produced.

The incentive of a home quarter-final draw next Tuesdaywas clearly foremost in CIT’s thoughts. They now entertain St Pat’s-Mater Dei in the last eight instead of facing an arduous trip to LIT.
