Fitzgibbon Cup: UCC seek consistency, UL look formidable

The talent coursing through the UCC team drips off the page. Putting it together for one outstanding collective effort remains the challenge.

It is semi-finals night in the Fitzgibbon Cup. The very quick turnaround to Saturday’s lunchtime decider is hardly ideal from a player welfare point of view, but that will not matter a jot to the two teams who come through this evening’s penultimate round clashes.

First to Clare where UCC and University of Galway will meet at Joseph’s Doora Barefield (6pm throw-in). UCC will be the first to admit that they have consistently failed to set the place alight en route to the semis. And yet, here they are in the last four unbeaten.
