Fitzgibbon Cup final clash ‘a disaster’, says Kirby

UL manager Gary Kirby has described as “a disaster” this weekend’s clash that will see the Fitzgibbon Cup final played less than 24 hours before the penultimate round of the Allianz Hurling Leagues.

Against DCU on Saturday, Kirby should have all of the inter-county players available to him from last week’s semi-final win over IT Carlow.

However, as they have players on the UL side, Clare, Limerick and Tipperary may have to change their line-ups the following day. Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford, Westmeath and Wexford face a similar situation regarding DCU.
