Brothers in arms at the Limerick Fitzgibbon match

The all-Limerick semi-final clash of UL and LIT carries an intriguing subplot with two sets of brothers lining out on opposite sides of the coin, not to mention the father charged with plotting his son’s downfall.

Ballysaggart native and former Waterford hurler Pat Bennett serves as selector on the LIT management team, son Kieran a key figure in defence in their three victories en-route to the finals weekend.

Lining out in opposition for the University of Limerick is Pat’s second son Stephen. The two brothers are likely to lock horns on more than one occasion, with Stephen expected to ply his trade at full-forward, Kieran to feature at corner-back for LIT. Is it beyond Davy Fitzgerald to order Kieran to pick up his brother for the hour?
