Limerick IT delay in naming choice of venue angers UL

UNIVERSITY of Limerick are angry that their neighbours Limerick Institute of Technology have delayed naming their choice of venue for next Saturday’s glamour Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final.

It is understood that LIT coach Dave Fitzgerald is anxious that the match be played at a Clare venue, either at Shannon or at the ground of his home club, Sixmilebridge.

"We believe they want to take the fixture out of Limerick. The delay in naming their preferred choice they have 'home' venue is unfair to our players and supporters," a UL spokesperson said.
