Limerick IT eye Fitzgibbon but must first topple Cork

LIMERICK IT, who host this year’s Datapac Fitzgibbon Cup weekend, will be anxious to be involved but must first beat Cork IT in Saturday’s quarter-final.

The game will have added bite as two former CIT players, All-Ireland medal winner Kieran Murphy and Kilkenny’s Jacky Tyrell, played in the 2004 Fitzgibbon with the Cork college.

CIT, who failed to the same opposition last year, could well spoil the party for the Davy Fitzgerald coached Limerick side. They recently just failed to UCC in the league final but indicated they won’t be a pushover on Saturday.
