IT Carlow defeated DIT in today’s Colleges & Universities Futsal Cup 6-2 after a thrilling final in the magnificent University of Limerick Arena.

Goals from Danny Ledwith (2), Robert Tier (2), Darren Kavanagh and Ben Ryan were enough for IT Carlow to see off DIT whose goals came from David O’Sullivan and Eoin Kavanagh.  DIT narrowly defeated last years runners up UCC in the semi final with a great goal from David O’Sullivan after both goalkeepers excelled. In the other semi-final IT Carlow beat the improving Queens 3-0 .
