Davy: Postpone Fitzgibbon weekend, player welfare comes first

Limerick IT manager Davy Fitzgerald wants the Fitzgibbon Cup finals weekend to be postponed in the interest of player welfare.

LIT emerged victorious in yesterday’s rescheduled quarter-final clash and will return to the field for Friday’s semi-final against local rivals UL. The decider is fixed for the following evening and the LIT boss said it is grossly unfair to expect a team to play three games in five days. Fitzgerald encouraged Comhairle Ardoicheachais (CA) to delay the final until next week.

“To ask us to play again in three days….you see what that game knocked out of our bodies there, we weren’t able to walk after it,” he noted.
