Patrickswell coach Declan Fitzgerald well versed on Glen

Patrickswell coach Declan Fitzgerald knows a thing or two about Sunday’s opposition.

The recently crowned Limerick champions entertain Glen Rovers in the Munster club hurling semi-final, with Fitzgerald having spent two seasons on the sideline with the Blackpool outfit.

Brother Philip Ryan enlisted the services of the Buttevant native for the 2003 campaign and he was coaxed back into the fold by Tomás Mulcahy for the 2006 season. Both campaigns ended at the quarter-final juncture, with a good cohort of players involved during the latter season due to feature at the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.
