Limerick IT in must win game

LIMERICK IT must beat arch-rivals UL today to stay in the Fitzgibbon Cup race, having already lost their opening game in the round robin series.

The sides met in the league final before Christmas and LIT emerged winners after a titanic struggle, but in the early rounds UL gave LIT a bit of a trimming. It all makes today’s championship clash that bit more intriguing.

Both sides are rich in inter-county talent. Galway’s Niall Healy, Clare’s Jonathan Clancy, Joe Canning (Galway) and Bernard Gaffney (Clare) and Maurice O’Brien (Limerick) will ensure champions LIT won’t go out without a fight.
