Derek Brennan happy DIT remain in the hunt

DIT 3-15, GMIT 0-11: DIT manager Derek Brennan was delighted that his side gave themselves a fighting chance of making the knockout stages of the Fitzgibbon Cup after they scored an emphatic at Carnmore in Galway.

DIT needed a win to stand any chance of progressing after their opening round defeat against Carlow IT, but they duly obliged and with goals from Westmeath star Derek McNicholas, Kilkenny forward Liam Blanchfield and substitute Sean Keating they got the valuable victory.

“It was hard ground out with the conditions, the wind and everything else. It was a tough old battle,” said Brennan.
