Letterkenny IT crashed out of the cup in the semi final stage at the hands of NUI Galway after being on top for large parts of the encounter.
Rattling the crossbar inside ten seconds, Colin Kelly later set up Ruairi Casserly for the opener just shy of the half hour as the hosts trailed at the interval.
After the intermission, the hosts had all the opportunities but couldn’t put them away as Kelly doubled the lead for his side with fifteen minutes to go.
The number ten added another two goals for his hat-trick to seal their place in the final.
Liam Walsh netted a late consolation penalty deep into added time.
LYIT Manager Shane Byrne was disappointed with his side’s performance and felt mistakes cost them…
