Senior Lose Out Narrowly
It was heartbreak at Pairc Ui Chaoimh last Sunday when we lost to CIT in the Co SHC. In our sixth match of the campaign we lost by a margin of just three points 2-10 to 1-16. We struck eight wides while the students had nine over the hour. We got a first minute goal and led by two points entering the last quarter. Just like the Erins Own game we failed to get enough scores towards the end. CIT got six points to our one in the last fifteen and our forwards got no score during the last eighteen minutes of the game. The game never reached any great standard as two evenly matched teams hurled with plenty endeavour. Playing against the wind in the first half we went in on level terms, 1 8 apiece and looked to be in a good position. A win still looked on until the late scoring burst for CIT which we simply could not match.
