IT WASN’T LOVELY weather for hurling in today’s Fitzgibbon Cup clash in Dublin.
The players from DIT and DCU toughed it in the snow at DCU’s Sportsgrounds in their Group D tie.
DIT won the game by 0-10 to 0-7 to seal their passage to the quarter-finals and they certainly earned it given the conditions.
See if you can spot the ball here as Richie Hogan steps up to this close-range free.
Was @ game, Lim deserving winners. Team went off pitch 2 mins before throw-in for 10 mins. New Stand was packed and Old Stand empty, spectators crossed field for better seats. If game started on time this wouldn’t have happened.
Perhaps a few people getting in unofficially! I remember something like that happened in England in the 80s!
People have to take personal responsibility here… In what set of circumstances does a regular match goer feel that it’s appropriate to walk across a field as the ball is about to be thrown in? Idiots!
To be fair to everyone, the Limerick team were not on the pitch at the time. The New Stand was filled to capacity while the opposite stand and both terraces were empty.
Well Darren looks like you have never been to Thurles.
Once for a concert! Prodigy! Savage!
Munster council a disgrace anyway. First leg a home game for Limerick and the 2nd then a few mins up the road in Thurles. Fair is clearly a four letter word of the foul kind to that lot.
Well if Waterford had a decent ground then maybe you might be able to say something, but sorry every major Stad is within 60 mins of some part of Limerick. I doubt any player or offical on the Waterford team objected to Thurles
The first game was technically a neutral venue dictated by the senior final. If that was next year then the match would be in PuíC. Stop being such a drama queen, Waterford were the better team the first day but Limerick did their homework and found a game plan to beat them the second day.
