Davy Fitzgerald overjoyed as Limerick IT cruise to semi-final
The hosts dominated the encounter from start to finish but once Austin Gleeson was shown a straight red card for an off-the-ball clash with Oisin O’Brien just before half-time, LIT were never in trouble.
Referee Cathal McAllister had a brief consultation with his linesman and umpire before he sent off the former All-Star nominee. But even before the red card LIT were the better side and they deserved to lead by 0-8 to 0-5 at half-time. After the break the game opened up, and Peter Duggan and Diarmaid Byrnes contributed five points each as LIT surged home.
