Two teams with plenty of local representation are into the Fitzgibbon Cup Semi Finals after notable victories last night.
DJ Carey’s I.T Carlow side edged Limerick I.T in a cracking contest in Carlow last night by 1-19 to 18 points.
Kilkenny’s Richie Leahy bagged three poins from midfield, Carlow’s Marty Kavanagh top scored with five points, while James Doyle lined out at Centre Back.
Speaking after the game, Doyle said that the late flurry of scores got them over the line.
