Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney chat with Galway footballer Jack Glynn ahead of the Sigerson Cup
Electric Ireland has today teamed up with six intercounty Camogie and GAA stars to look ahead to the upcoming matches and rivalries across the Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Championships and the Electric Ireland GAA Higher Education Championships. Through its #FirstClassRivals campaign, Electric Ireland will continue to celebrate the unexpected alliances that form between county rivals as they come together in pursuit of some of the most coveted titles across Camogie and GAA.
Despite being bound to their county through a traditional allegiance, intercounty camogie stars Kate Kirwan (UCD & Wexford) and Clodagh McIntyre (UCD & Tipperary) will put their rivalries to one side as they seek to win the prestigious Electric Ireland Ashbourne Cup. Likewise, intercounty footballers Eoghan McLaughlin (UL & Mayo) and Jack Glynn (UL & Galway), and intercounty hurlers Adrian Mullen (DCU Dร & Kilkenny) and Andrew Dunphy (DCU Dร & Dublin) will look to set conventional competition aside as they work towards to Electric Ireland Sigerson and Fitzgibbon titles in 2023 with their college sides.
In the first round of Sigerson Cup action, UL triumphed over UCC setting up a Round 2A clash with TU Dublin. DCU will kick off their Fitzgibbon campaign against Mary Immaculate College Limerick, while the Ashbourne Cup is already underway. The draw for the Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Championships and the Electric Ireland GAA Higher Education Leagues and Championships took place on 3 November 2022 and 14 December 2022 respectively and the full schedule of fixtures can be viewed at the links below:
