Cork IT wrap it up quickly against DCU

Cork IT 1-14, DCU-St Patrick’s 0-6: A good start and composed finish was key for Cork IT yesterday as their 10-point half-time lead provided the basis for an 11-point victory over DCU-St Patrick’s at the latter’s Drumcondra grounds in Round 2 of the Fitzgibbon Cup.

Frank Flannery’s side raced out of the blocks, racking up 1-5 before their opponents even got off the mark, with Michael Kearney of Waterford hitting all but one of those scores.

While their winning margin was comfortable, the conditions were anything but - strong wind and swirling rain was not particularly amenable to hurling and it made for a challenging run-out for both sides.
