Eamon Cregan anger as Limerick board refuses to budge on U-21 games

Former Limerick senior hurling manager and player Eamon Cregan has hit out at the Limerick County Board’s decision to play the club U21 hurling championship at the same time as the Fitzgibbon Cup.

Cregan’s Mary Immaculate College side earned their place in the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-finals weekend in Cork in a fortnight with a straightforward win over GMIT on Tuesday, but he was forced into resting key players for a season defining game.

Three Limerick colleges — Limerick IT and University of Limerick are also though — have qualified for the semi-finals but Cregan said the county U-21 championship should not be going on at the same time.
