Second-half goal spree eases NUIG past St Pat’s

NUI Galway 4-14 St Pat’s Dochas Eireann 1-12: NUI Galway manager Tony Ward praised his side’s character but knows they didn’t play to their potential as they saw off a valiant St Pat’s in the Fitzgibbon Cup at Dangan in Galway.

NUIG are set to host the Fitzgibbon Cup finals weekend at the end of February, and they made a winning start to their campaign in Group B.

On Tuesday, an impressive UL side hammered CIT in Limerick, and NUIG will face both of those sides as they attempt to qualify from the group.
