Cork IT men on a mission

FITZGIBBON CUP SEMI-FINAL:

UCC have been responsible for Cork IT’s Fitzgibbon Cup exit over the past two seasons with an extra-time victory in the 2012 decider and edging last year’s quarter-final battle by two points. Said hurling folk have labelled this a revenge mission for CIT, an opportunity to ensure they are not subjected to a third consecutive defeat to skull and bones-emblazoned jersey.

First mention of UCC then and it is clear Mulcahy has heard those three letters once too many times this week. The CIT manager instantly shifts focus back to his troops and there it will remain, he insists, until shortly before 6pm this evening.
