Garvan delights as IT Carlow reach cup semi-final

Sigerson Cup Quarter-Final: IT Carlow 0-11 UL 0-10: IT Carlow withstood a barrage of injury-time UL attacks and, indeed, a half-hour stoppage in proceedings to secure a first Sigerson Cup semi-final appearance.

When UL full-forward Gearóid Hegarty kicked wide as the clock spilled into time added on, the hosts trailing by the minimum, IT Carlow were within touching distance of a shock, though fully merited victory.

An injury to UL substitute Michael Flannery in the subsequent action, however, delayed this quarter-final by half an hour as an ambulance was called to remove the Kerry student from the field – Flannery landed awkwardly on his shoulder when colliding with an IT Carlow defender.
