UCC exit Fitzgibbon Cup

UCC have crashed out of the Fitzgibbon Cup at the group stages for a second successive year.

Ger Cunningham’s charges required at least a three point win against LIT this afternoon to progress to the knockout stages, but were unable to reach this target, losing to the visitors on a scoreline of 2-15 to 1-14.

The crucial score arrived on 56 minutes when David Dempsey ghosted in behind the UCC full-back line for LIT’s second goal. The score moved LIT into a 2-13 to 1-14 lead after Alan Cadogan had goaled for UCC four minutes earlier.
