O’Dwyer sees red in Cork IT win in Fitzgibbon Cup

UUJ 1-14  Cork IT 1-18 Fitzgibbon Cup Belfast

Tipperary star John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer will miss Cork IT’s Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final after he was sent off in yesterday’s hard-fought win over UUJ.

O’Dwyer, who top-scored with 0-8, was given a straight red card in the 45th minute for striking UUJ defender Niall Devlin in the Group D clash in Belfast. CIT, who host this year’s Fitzgibbon Cup semi-finals and final, were made to battle all the way and only led 0-10 to 0-9 at the interval. Antrim forward Nickey McKeague scored 0-5 in the first-half for UUJ.
