Al too easy for wily St Pat’s in campaigner opener

ST PAT’S-Mater Dei know they’ll face much stiffer tests than this further down the road, but they’ll still be pleased with themselves for getting their Fitzgibbon Cup campaign off to such a positive start.

They had far too much craft and guile for a game but limited UUJ and in the end won the game at a canter.

It was a perfect illustration of just how big a difference snappier wrists and quicker speed of thought makes in a game of hurling.
