Mary I boss Eamonn Cregan fumes at showboating stars despite win over GMIT

Mary Immaculate College 2-25 GMIT 0-10: Mary Immaculate manager Eamon Cregan left with a heavy win in the bag, but he was fuming with his side’s second-half efforts as they picked apart a poor GMIT side to reach the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-finals.

Declan Hannon and David Reidy hit the net for the Limerick college, but Cregan was annoyed to see what he said was his side’s disrespect for GMIT “both on and off the field” in the second- half. Hannon, Cian Lynch, Colm Galvin, and Ronan Maher were all taken off at the break, while Reidy’s goal 12 minutes from time put a realistic look on the scoreboard after Davy Conroy led the GMIT revival.

Despite an 18-point lead in the bag, Cregan was very annoyed to see his selectors make the four substitutions at half-time, while the effort levels and showboating from his side left him irate afterwards.
