IT Carlow thrown out of Fitzgibbon Cup

IT Carlow have been ousted from the Fitzgibbon Cup after fielding a part-time student James Gannon in their recent win over Maynooth University.

Gannon - who has also played Fitzgibbon Cup for UCD in the past - is studying a graduate course through Glanbia, but the Comhairle Ardoideachais (CA) Hearings committee have ruled this afternoon that the Ballyragget native is only studying a part-time course.
