Fitzgibbon Cup Preview: Heavyweights UL and UCC set to collide in quarter-final

Elsewhere on Wednesday it's Mary I v TUS Midwest, SET Waterford v SETU Carlow and University of Galway v MTU Cork.

LAST EIGHT: Shane Barrett in action for UCC. Picture: Jim Coughlan.

It could easily have been the final but instead fans of the Fitzgibbon Cup are in for an early treat as two of the competition’s heavyweights go head-to-head in one of the four quarter finals taking place on Wednesday.

More on the other three to come but surely nobody can argue with top-billing going to the last eight clash between defending champions, the University of Limerick, and the most successful team in the history of the tournament, University College Cork.
