CIT made it into the semi-finals of this year's Ulster Bank Sigerson Cup after edging out DCU by 1-15 to 0-14, after extra time, following a thrilling tie at CIT. The deadly duo of Colm O'Neill and Daniel Goulding accounted for 1-12 of CIT's final tally but the game was slightly overshadowed by a mass brawl which broke out at the end of normal time. CIT got off on the frontfoot from the opening whistle and were 0-5 to 0-1 in front by the 21st minute. However DCU rallied and thanks to Cavan duo Ray Cullivan and Sean Johnston they drew levet at 0-5 apiece by half-time. CIT once again got off the blocks the quickest and O'Neill's goal in the 37th minute had DCU trailing once again. DCU were still trailing by 0-9 to 1-8 approaching added-on time but then Ronan Flanagan and Martin McElroy fired late points to get their side out of jail. CIT began the first period of extra-time in the driving seat once more, hitting four points on the trot to move into a 1-12 to 0-11 lead. DCU again worked hard to get within two points by the 75th minute but two late scores from Cork star Goulding served to book a last four place for CIT.
