WIT refuse to buckle against UL in Fitzgibbon Cup final

University of Limerick 3-12 Waterford IT 0-21 (AET)

Had they thrown in the towel at the end of their third game in five days, the second in 24-hours to require extra-time, there wouldn’t have been a single voice of criticism.

On several occasions throughout an absorbing 80 minutes UL had threatened to pull the plug on the champions. Each time WIT performed a most remarkable act of resurrection, none more so than in the wake of Stephen Bennett’s goal on 73 minutes.
