UCC carry star power in Cork Fitzgibbon derby

It’s four years since we’ve been treated to a Fitzgibbon Cup clash between UCC and Cork IT. Five years since the pair have met on Cork soil.

Expect a decent crowd so at CIT this evening as the two third-level institutions, separated by no more than four kilometres of road, get the 2018 edition of the Fitzgibbon Cup underway.

That last encounter in February of 2014 went against the grain in that it was CIT who emerged from UCC’s shadow to progress to a third ever decider at their neighbours’ expense.
