McGrath points way as UL battle back for share of spoils

Honours even at the end of a first-round Fitzgibbon Cup derby that never got off the ground at UL yesterday.

With two to qualify from their three-team group and St Patrick’s expected to fall to both these Limerick powerhouses, a win wasn’t critical. And it showed.

Thankfully, however, the game was illuminated by several outstanding displays, most notably by high-scoring Conor McGrath, centre-back Brendan Bugler and keeper Thomas Lowry for UL, and by centre-back John O’Keeffe, full-back Richie McCarthy and full-forward Joe Canning for LIT.
