HOLDERS Mary Immaculate College (MIC) will host University of Limerick (UL) in a glamour concluding group fixture of the Fitzgibbon Cup Colleges’ Hurling Championship on Wednesday, 2pm.

The winners will progress to the semi-finals, while the losers will still earn a quarter-final position.

Last time out, UL – who are captained by Colin Coughlan of Ballybrown – produced a storming finish to edge-out ATU Galway.

Among the leading scorers for the Brian Ryan of South Liberties managed selection were local trio Adam English (Doon), Aidan O’Connor (Ballybrown) and Paddy O’Donovan, Effin.

A week ago, MIC accounted for SETU Waterford.
