It's the last throw of the dice for Kenny

TOM KENNY has been in UCC for six years, but he doesn't have a Fitzgibbon Cup medal. Given the Cork students' record in the competition, leading the roll of honour with 39 titles, that's hard to credit.

The Cork senior midfielder was on the losing teams of 2001 to UCD in a replay and 2004 to Waterford IT, and this weekend is his last chance to win that coveted medal as he leaves the Cork university with a Masters degree in Commerce at the end of the academic year.

The Grenagh man's only reward from hurling so far has been two senior All-Ireland medals with Cork, having failed to garner any honours at minor or U21 levels with the county. His passionate desire to add a Fitzgibbon Cup medal to his collection is understandable.
