Today's Fitzgibbon Cup previews

Group A: Limerick IT v UCD, LIT, 2pm.

Tipperary’s Cathal Barrett was a notable absentee in LIT’s win over Maynooth and it remains to be seen if the Premier corner-back will be involved today. Peter Duggan (1-6) and Niall Maher (1-3) did the damage last week and more of the same will be required for the visit of Nicky English’s UCD.

The Belfield outfit will be brimming with confidence following their win over UCC at the Mardyke and a second victory over Davy Fitzgerald’s side would guarantee their place in the knockout stages. Oisín O’Rorke, who hit 1-7 against UCC, will be a key figure.
