[ # ] LIT and WIT win Fitzgibbon Semi Finals
February 29th, 2008

Limerick IT and Waterford IT won today’s Fitzgibbon cup semi finals in Cork.

LIT beat GMIT by 3 points, 3-10 to 2-10. LIT were ahead by 13 points at one stage but in the end were holding on for dear life. Given that GMIT were missing Andrew O’Shaughnessy it’s a great performance from them. UPDATE: Turns out you can’t believe anything these days, O’Shaughnessy actually started and played the whole game…

The other game was close all the way through. WIT just held on by two points, 2-14 to 1-15.

Set’s up a great final between LIT and WIT tomorrow at 3pm. It’s live on TG4.

Repeat of their group stage clash which WIT won by a point

LIT blew away GMIT in the first half with the aid of the breeze and led 3-9 to 0-4 with about 10 minutes gone in the second half. Davy deceided to take off Joe Caning and
young Gaffney from Clare and GMIT outscored LIT 2-6 to 1 point for the remainder of the game, Canning 2-6 & Gaffney 1-2. Mark Flaherty got 2-8 for GMIT. Pity Shaughs was injured GMIT could have got to their first Fitz cup final if he had played hes in great form. Should be a good final tomorrow against WIT, I cant see WIT beating LIT like they did in the group stages. Live on TG4 at 3pm.
