UL bidding for three-in-a-row

THE University of Limerick is camogie's Mecca this weekend. The finals of the Ashbourne Cup and Plate are being played in this sports-mad city and the hosts have high expectations.

Though only admitted to camogie's premier third-level competition in 1994, UL quickly established themselves among the elite, claiming their first title a year later with a team captained by Cork star Fiona O'Driscoll.

This weekend, the side captained by Offaly's Sheila O'Sullivan goes for the college's first three-in-a-row.
