Last-chance saloon for defending champions WIT

CHAMPIONS WIT face a critical encounter at home to DIT this afternoon, in one of three Fitzgibbon Cup ties down for decision.

Following last week’s reversal against UL, WIT must triumph in this Group B tie to preserve their interest and they will be looking to TJ Reid, Fintan O’Leary, Stephen Lillis and Ray McLoughney for inspiration.

DIT are playing in their opening game this season and with Dublin senior quartet Kevin O’Reilly, Declan O’Dwyer, Peter Kelly and Paul Ryan in action, along with Kilkenny senior Willie O’Dwyer, they’ll provide a stiff test. Home advantage may swing matters WIT’s way.
