Quaid double fires CIT back into finals weekend

Last year they had nine points to spare in their Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final triumph over Dublin IT and yesterday Cork IT replicated that commanding performance at the same stage against NUIG in Bishopstown.

An early flurry of goals underpinned their triumph as CIT raised three green flags inside the opening 17 minutes on an afternoon when difficult conditions impinged on the hurling on show.

NUIG produced a spirited revival in the period either side of the half-time break, but when David Drake engineered the space to finish clinically to the net in the 56th minute it settled this game as a contest.
