Hot fancies LIT set to give UCD lesson

THE battle for Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final places commences this afternoon with games in LIT Grounds, UL Grounds and Dangean, while the fourth quarter-final is fixed for St. Pats Grounds, Drumcondra on Thursday.

LIT start favourites following their splendid victory over holders WIT and, with a full squad for today’s visit of UCD, are likely to be the first team to book their place for the finals in Carlow on March 9. The game has a 1pm throw-in to allow the Dubliners the chance to get out of the city ahead of the traffic, while the other games commence at 2pm.

Seorse Bulfin’s side face another massive test in UCD, who field a team sprinkled with inter-county players.
