UCC eye redemption against in-form LIT

TWELVE months ago UCC were on the receiving end of a Fitzgibbon Cup drubbing against Limerick IT in aquatic conditions in the Mardyke on an afternoon when Galway star Joe Canning was in irrepressible form. Now UCC have a shot at atonement in this afternoon’s semi-final.

“We’re looking forward to it,” remarks UCC manager Paul O’Connor. “They’re going to be a very good side with Davy Fitzgerald on the sideline, they’ll be very well-drilled and well-coached.

“But we’re happy with our guys. I feel that we’ve a balanced panel and all the guys that had club commitments over the last few weeks are now fully available to us. Our focus since last October has been to make the weekend and we’ve achieved that now.
