CIT Win Purcell Cup

15 February, 2016

The Institute's senior camogie team travelled to Gort on Sunday to take on Division 1 finalist NUIM in the final of the Purcell Cup.

While emotion was high all afternoon, it reached a maximum when CIT Captain Jacinta Crowley, before lifting the cup, dedicated the win to our beloved bus driver Seamus McCarthy who passed away earlier this year while driving this team back from a league game in Waterford.

The tribute was matched by a fantastic team performance when they outplayed Maynooth right throughout the 60 minutes to win on a scoreline of 1:12 to 0:04.

Recreation and Leisure 1st student Katlynn Hickey was awarded Player of the Match.
