DRA next for Mary Immaculate’s Fitzgibbon Cup appeal

Limerick IT v IT Carlow, LIT (A Kelly, Galway), 2pm

DJ Carey said last week he wouldn’t allow the eligibility controversy surrounding James Gannon affect preparations for the trip to Limerick. Easier said than done, one would imagine, with last night’s revelations that Mary Immaculate College are planning to bring their case to the DRA. On that basis, both of tonight’s games could go by the wayside, plummeting the Fitzgibbon Cup into a farcical tailspin.

All the scheduled participants can do is wait and see. With IT Carlow bidding to secure a first ever Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final appearance, Aidan Fogarty, Jack Fagan and Chris Bolger are their key men, though Stephen Maher will miss out due to a broken collar bone.
