Wexford star wants to graduate with honours

RORY JACOB has been shooting the lights out for county and college recently - and he's hoping his eye stays keen for this weekend at least.

A goal and four points for Waterford IT in their Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final win over Cork IT last week was quickly followed by 1-8 for Wexford in last Sunday's NHL win over Clare. The man from Oulart-The-Ballagh is hoping the scores continue to flow when WIT face NUI Galway in Friday's Datapac Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final at the Mardyke (2.30pm).

Already the winner of two Fitzgibbon Cup medals, along with his brother Michael, this is Rory's last year in college and he is keen to go out on a winning note, but he accepts the Galway students will pose a lot of problems for himself and his team-mates.
