Keane wants Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final put back

LIMERICK senior hurling coach Dave Keane is seeking to have Friday’s Datapac Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final between UL and WIT put back to next Tuesday.

With eight of his county players involved between the participating teams Keane, who is in his first season as coach, wants nothing to interfere with his side’s chances of beating Cork in the opening round of the NHL on Sunday.

“I’ve asked the Limerick County Secretary Jimmy Hartigan to try and get the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final put back because of so many of our players involved”, said Keane.
