DCU chasing titles and respect in Fitzgibbon Cup final

Hurling in DCU wasn’t always the picture of such rude health.

This afternoon in Mallow, they contest a first Fitzgibbon Cup final. It follows on from their league final involvement before Christmas and successive All-Ireland fresher final appearances in the spring of 2016 and ’17, the latter delivering a maiden title at that level.

Probably worth noting, too, the powerhouse they conquered in that freshers decider is the one they’ll attempt to upset today.
