CIT gained control mostly through their turnover ability and tackling technique, frustrating Dundalk’s offensive efforts in the first period. Dineen, Damien Gore, O’Brien and James Crean all raised white flags for Cork IT but few could have foreseen the scoring blitz they were about to unleash in the third quarter. First they hit Dundalk for an unanswered 1-2 (Gore goal) and then a further 1-4 (Dineen with the goal) without reply as Gore began to wreak havoc. The second Trench Cup semi final is Thursday night between Mary I and Trinity College at Rockwell/Rosegreen (7pm).
