MTU well beaten by UL as two early red cards cost them dearly

by

UL 1-28 

MTU Cork 0-10 

Two red cards inside 20 minutes ended MTU Cork’s Fitzgibbon Cup dreams as they ultimately fell to a 21-point defeat to UL in Mallow on Tuesday night.

Alan Connolly and Mikey Finn received the red cards in the 16th and 20th minutes from referee Thomas Walsh for high tackles.

Connolly’s rising tackle, which saw Michael Corcoran leave the field injured, was the more clearcut of the sendings off.

Finn had more of a case for clemency as he collided with Aaron Morgan, who was ducking away to clear the sliotar, but the referee deemed the contact too high.

The sides were tied at 0-3 apiece when Connolly was dismissed and UL had edged one ahead by the time Finn followed him off.
