Another comfortable win for UL against NUIG

University of Limerick 2-21, NUI Galway 2-12: The hurlers of UL booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Fitzgibbon Cup with this second comprehensive victory on home turf.

Brian Lohan’s charges had 13 points to spare over CIT in their opening fixture and while yesterday’s victory over the Galway University wasn’t as clearcut, the game as a contest was pretty much cooked by half-time.

The home outfit played into a strong wind in the opening period and their four-point interval advantage, 1-10 to 0-9, left the visitors with a mountain to climb upon the restart.
