LIT sweating on Canning availability

THE line-up for next week’s Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-finals will be completed this afternoon when the group stages draw to a close.

The opening round games in Groups A and C were both postponed two weeks ago due to adverse weather conditions, and today’s re-fixtures will determine the last eight pairings.

In Group A Limerick IT are at home to Tipperary Institute and a win for Davy Fitzgerald’s charges will set them up with a home quarter-final against Waterford IT. That should be achieved as newcomers Tipperary Institute were emphatically defeated on Tuesday by UCD, who LIT had previously beaten by four points.
