Congratulations to CIT's  Ladies Volleyball team on recently winning the Intervarsities Plate. The three day competition hosted by UCD saw CIT play UCD, UCC & ITT on Thursday 28th November, finishing third in the group, as well as qualifying for the Plate competition. The following day, CIT played GMIT & GCD and qualified for the Plate playoffs. On Saturday CIT played ITC in the play-offs and GMIT in the semi-final. In an exciting and nail biting semi-final CIT won the first set (26-24), lost the second set (22-25), and battled to win the third and final set, therefore qualifying for the Final. In the Final, CIT faced GCD whom it had lost to on the previous day by two sets to one.
