UU Jordanstown 3-9 DIT 0-16UUJ scraped home yesterday. A defensive mix-up between DIT goalkeeper Gerard Gilsonen and his defenders resulted in Paul Forker kicking an early goal and Forker extended their lead as his shot was spilled by Gilsonen and was judged to have crossed the line.

UUJ extended their lead after the break with a Raymond McGinley free. DIT hearts were broken when Johnny Bradley scored another goal after Forker had seemingly hooked the ball from out of play back into the goalmouth. Murphy got another point and UUJ had one foot in the next round. Cian Ward fought hard to keep DIT in the competition with a score from an impossible angle.
