WATERFORD IT BOOKED their place in the quarter-finals of the Fitzgibbon Cup with a comfortable 2-22 to 1-12 victory over DCU in Carriganore this evening.
Last year’s beaten finalists were in control of the Group B contest from the off as first-half goals from Kilkenny duo Johnny Hayes and Jack Langton set the hosts on their way.
The pair found the net in quick succession after 14 and 18 minutes and Colm Bonnar’s side never looked back, despite Cathal Curran’s penalty for the visitors after half-time.
Waterford sharpshooter Austin Gleeson registered four points while Liam McGrath scored 10, including six frees.
A second defeat, following the 13 point reversal to IT Carlow in the opening round, ends DCU’s hopes of reaching the last eight but Waterford march on in emphatic fashion.
