Canning shines as impressive LIT send the holders packing

JOE CANNING added to his growing reputation as a hurler with a marvellous display of point-scoring as LIT dethroned champions WIT in a hugely entertaining Ulster Bank Fitzgibbon Cup first round tie at Limerick yesterday.

The Galway youngster operated at full forward on a team that included six inter-county players and his contribution of 1-9 was hugely significant as the home college led the defending champions from start to finish in front of a huge crowd.

In a typical Fitzgibbon Cup tie, no quarter was asked or given as both sides went all out for the win.
