WATCH: Mary Immaculate’s Mike Fitzgerald on their Fitzgibbon Cup loss to DCU

MARY IMMACULATE College's Fitzgibbon Cup knockout stages hopes hang by a thread following a 2-21 to 2-18 loss to DCU at MIC Grounds.

A late, late goal saw DCU pull off a stunning win and qualify for the quarter finals themselves. Mary I now need a favour from the Dublin side if they are to have any hope of reaching the last eight. DCU need to beat SETU Carlow in the final group game by four points or more for Mary I to qualify. 

Goals from Devon Ryan and Declan McLaughlin seemed to have put the South Circular Road college well on their way but a long range free from DCU keeper Eddie Gibbons that went all the way to the net scuppered those hopes.

Following the defeat, Mary Immaculate selector Mike Fitzgerald spoke to Leader Sport's John Keogh about the game and where things went wrong.
