TUS replied but the key score came on 20 minutes with the Galway side finding the net for a 1-10 to 0-5 lead. That lead was maintained until the half.
Successive scores to start the second half pushed GMIT further clear but a Kian O’Kelly goal with fifteen to play gave the limerick college some hope.
Robin Mounsey had the deficit back to six with ten to play but TUS wouldn’t score agaiin until injury time as the hosts kept the scoreboard ticking.

In the other side of the draw, UL and Carlow IT are safely through after overcoming Cork opposition on Tuesday evening.
