Cha set for action ahead of epic club showdown

IS NOTHING in hurling beyond the reach of Cha Fitzpatrick?

Perennial winner with his club, Ballyhale Shamrocks, at underage and now at senior, likewise with his county, Kilkenny, Cha is now taking his Midas hurling touch on to the very competitive college scene.

Normally, because of the numbers game, it could be safely predicted that in the storied Fitzgibbon Cup, the student teachers of cosy St Pat’s in Drumcondra have little hope of ever breaking their duck, little hope then of winning the 2009 version, to be hosted this year by Trinity College, Dublin.
