Mighty Mary I eyeing glory
Whatever happens in the final in Pearse Stadium later today Mary Immaculate have already created Fitzgibbon Cup history, the first team from the little Limerick college to reach this stage of the fabled college competition.
No-one can argue with their right to be there either because if ever a win was deserved this was it, a result chiselled from adversity. In a side that’s more blue-collar than star-studded two players stand out, their team captain and attack leader John Conlan, who scored the winning point for NUI Galway in the final three years ago, and magnificent centre-back Declan Hannon.
