Three games in five days to win Fitzgibbon Cup

The hurlers of IT Carlow and Limerick IT face three games in five days in their bid to annex hurling’s Fitzgibbon Cup.

The controversy surrounding the eligibility of IT Carlow hurler James Gannon has left Comhairle Ardoideachais squeezed for time to run off the delayed quarter-finals ahead of next Friday’s semi-final. The Fitzgibbon Cup decider is fixed for the following afternoon, Saturday, February 28.

Following IT Carlow’s reinstatement early yesterday, DJ Carey’s charges travel to Limerick IT next Tuesday for the rescheduled quarter-final clash. The second quarter-final involving Waterford IT and Dublin IT has yet to be finalised.
