CIT show amazing resilience

CIT 1-17 UCC 0-19

The reigning champions were responsible for CIT’s exit over the past two seasons and it appeared they would continue to enjoy local supremacy when hitting 10 unanswered points midway through the second half to overturn a 1-13 to 0-7 deficit into a remarkable one-point lead eight minutes out.

Manager Pat Mulcahy had reflected earlier this week that while CIT had come agonisingly close on previous occasions, each time they had failed to cross the line. With said line now once more in sight, CIT had froze stiff well down the home stretch.
