Sigerson Cup a big stepping stone for Limerick footballers

Steven O’Brien made an interesting observation after helping DCU to Sigerson glory this time last year. He admitted: “There aren’t too many Tipperary lads who go to college to play football, or, indeed, come away from college with a Sigerson medal.”

However minuscule the figure may be, Ian Ryan reckons it would pale in comparison to neighbours Limerick.

The Limerick vice-captain kept a close eye on proceedings in Belfast last weekend as the University of Limerick made their first appearance at the Sigerson weekend since 1997.
