Keane’s late strike sends UCC through

UCC 1-12 Cork IT 1-9

With the sides level after UCC’s Tom Hickey and sub Brian Coughlan scored to tie matters, the Sigerson Cup champions pressed in search of a winner but looked like being frustrated in their efforts.

Hickey, scorer of five points, shot wide after good work by Coughlan, and then another chance looked to have gone astray when Éanna Ó Conchúir mishit a delivery towards the CIT goal. The ball was not dealt with by the defence, however, and fell invitingly for midfielder Keane, who fired past Stephen Nyhan from 10 yards to secure victory and a clash with Muskerry in the next round.
