Limerick colleges learn Fitzgibbon fate

-

THE THREE Limerick colleges competing in the 2013 Fitzgibbon Cup discovered their group stage opponents when the draw for the Higher Education championships was made today.

 

 

2011 winners UL are in Group D with St Pat’s/Mater Dei and DIT, while in Group C LIT also have two Dublin opponents, UCD and DCU. Last year’s Ryan Cup winners, Mary Immaculate College, were placed in Group A alongside reigning champions UCC, GMIT and NUI Galway.

The other Fitzgibbon Cup group involves WIT, Cork IT and IT Carlow.

In the Sigerson Cup, the footballers of UL face a difficult preliminary round fixture against DCU. Should the Limerick side prevail in that game, their first round opponents will be Queen’s University Belfast.

The draw for the Trench Cup was also made, with LIT taking on IT Tallaght and Mary Immaculate College facing Letterkenny IT.
