WIT face tough challenge from strong UL side
Wexford’s Rory Jacob, JJ Delaney (Kilkenny) and Michael Walsh (Waterford) spearhead the IT challenge which will also be strengthened further by the return of Kilkenny senior Brian Dowling who missed the first round hammering of DIT because of club duty with O’Loughlin Gaels.
UL have a score to settle as they lost at the semi-final stage last year to the eventual champions. They are at a disadvantage because this is their first championship outing. However, they are league champions and will field a host of inter-county players.
