A star-studded University of Limerick side coasted to victory in the Senior Division 1 Hurling League final, on home soil, against DCU. Winning by ten didn’t flatter last seasons Fitzgibbon Cup runners-up, who will have their eyes firmly set on that title in the new year. There was however, a worrying injury suffered by Cathal O’Neill – who was carried off the pitch inside the final five minutes, with a severe looking hamstring issue.

The University of Limerick made home advantage count as they edged beyond Dublin City University to claim the Freshers 1 Hurling title at a soaked Maguires Field. Captained by Cork starlet Jack Leahy, the Limerick side did just enough to claim the silverware. Such was the downpour of rain in Limerick in the last 24 hours, the softening grass pitch was heavy going for these youngsters, but in the end, UL wrestled control and got over the line.

University of Limerick’s three-in-a-row bid retains a strong pulse. The champions continue on. The champions, three games into this Fitzgibbon Cup campaign, were finally subjected to a proper workup. The champions had to take second chair to their guests for the opening 40 minutes of this quarter-final. The champions led on just three occasions during that first 40 minutes. The champions fell three behind approaching half-time and fell four in arrears not long after the turnaround.
