It is getting interesting now with places in the Electric Ireland Fitzgibbon Cup to be secured.

On Monday evening Mary I earned a place in the last eight of the competition following another decent win over Maynooth University in Group A.

An accomplished UL outfit posted victories over TUS Midwest and ATU Galway, who will both be eager to summon defiant displays in another vital game.
