Pen Pictures

Damien Garrihy (Wolfe Tones, Shannon). (2nd Business) (1st Fitzgibbon). Thank you, Gus, for getting me on the team. Damien has taken over from Maguire in AIB but, this time, there was no Nicky to hold his hand. Renowned for his displays in the Poc Fada on the Cooley Mountains with two runners up medals to Ger Cunningham by a short head.

Brian Lohan (Wolfe Tones, Shannon) (4th Business) (4th Fitzgibbon). Son of Gus, gets the award for the second year running for the Colgate "Smile of the Year". Brian is glad he did Business Studies as he was able to count the studs on Pat Fox's boots in last year's Munster Final.

Willie Burke (Oranmore Maree) (3rd Metalwork) (3rd Fitzgibbon): Willie "Lilette" Burke played his best game of the year in Tropics on the night of the match that wasn't (ending up with a fine slapper). We are lucky to have Willie for the Fitzgibbon as he was rumoured to have a dose of ringworm.

Conor Galvin (Cratloe) (4th Applied Maths) (1st Fitzgibbon). Completely indebted to Conor for deciding to finally honour us with his presence on the hurling squad. Limerick's answer to "Rambo" is everyone's favourite drinking partner. His wardrobe consists entirely of tight T shirts and jeans three sizes too small.

Noel Finnerty (Abbey Duniry) (2nd Mech. Eng.) (1st Fitzgibbon). "The Snapper" weight 71b. 120z. Most recent member of this year's team to have a lash off "The Pessst". That was A1 Angie.

Daragh O'Neill (Ahane) (4th Mech. Eng.) (6th Fitzgibbon). Mr. Fitzgibbon. Only medal holder left standing in U.L. No one can remember when he won his Fitzgibbon medal (1989?). How did we get him off the drink?

Sean McMahon (Doora Barefield, St. Joseph’s) (2nd Mech. Eng.) (1st Fitzgibbon. Missed last year's Fitzgibbon. A bad hangover was the reason for missing the throw in in this year's Oireachtas Final. Pet hates slow women and fast wingforwards.

Fergal Hartley (Ballygunner) (4th Business) (3rd Fitzgibbon). What can be said about the great "Lombardo"? Does well to drag himself away from that party house, No. 3, and slim English women. Still has not got a recall for Waterford since his mammoth performance against Kerry in last year's Munster championship. "Best looking man in the college".

Pat Maguire ("Nicky Land") (3rd Business) (3rd Fitzgibbon). Rumoured to be son of Nicky. Where in the world did this man of great standards come from? Has plummeted from the model to the ladies' football corner back. Has improved a lot since First Year!

Colm O'Doherty (Ardrahan) (1st Euro Studies) (1st Fitzgibbon). We're guaranteed a Fitzgibbon win if he can score as freely on the field of play.

Con Murphy (Adare) (4th Mech. Eng.) (1st Fitzgibbon). Life and soil of the party after the quarter final v. UCG. ''The Spoiler" spent the entire game to ing and fro in" from the sideline. Advice: The ground should be fresher behind the coals! Pest Mark 2.

Darren O'Connor (Cahir). (2nd Ind. Chemistry) (1st Fitzgibbon). Pest Mark 3. His hurling might improve if he could stop muttering to himself during a game. Hopefully we can keep him off the porter for this weekend.

Darren O'Donoghue (Carbery) (2nd P.E.) (2nd Fitzgibbon). Sean Mac's drinking partner. In the Tony Doran mould, a bright young prospect for Cork U 21 this year.

Alan "The King, Bomber" Quirke" (Arravale Rovers) (Post Grad.) (5th Fitzgibbon). The list of top class women is endless. Should travel to Galway this weekend with Davey.

Fionan O'Sullivan (Castletown, Laois). (3rd Euro Studies) (1st Fitzgibbon). Pathetic captain of the pathetic Laois minor team of 1991. Rumours of "Popeye" being called for Laois footballers after his dazzling footwork against UCG. Pest Mark 4.

Noel Murray (Liam Mellows) (3rd P.E.) (3rd Fitzgibbon). Denied his position on this year's First XV due to Gus's influence in the selection. Lock up yer daughters in Galway, this blonde bombshell is sure to paint his native town red this weekend.

Shane Doyle (James Stephens) (1st Ind. Chemistry) (1st Fitzgibbon). Having raised the Irish Press Cup last September and being a full blooded Cat like Frank, Doyler has only his choice of women to blame for not making the First XV. Has been known to grab a few winks in Cheers".

Pat Divinney (Beag). (2nd Business) (1st Fitzgibbon). Couldn't be started against UCG as we had exceeded our quota of Galway players, but then he brushed them all aside with a poxy goal. A fanatic for fitness.

John O'Halloran (Monaleen) (3rd Business) (3rd Fitzgibbon). Pity he's not anywhere near as good as his oul' man. Most memorable moment: catching Pat Hartnett with a "gluger in the left eye.

David Quirke (Arravale Rovers) (3rd Law & Acc.) (1st Fitzgibbon). Alan's brother, but cuter, according to all the women. Drove the King mad on his last visit to Galway.

Kevin McCarthy (Millstreet). (2nd Materials Science) (1st Fitzgibbon). Proved a terrific host for a crowd of vagrants after the Intermediate Final. What a connoisseur of Guinness Kevin is threatening to take on everyone over three gallons of Arthur!

Albie Quinlan (Upperchurch Drombane). (Post Grad.) (3rd Fitzgibbon)_. Best driver on the squad. Can't make the 1st XV as he's only a San Franciso sunshine hurler. Suspicions are still rife of his role as a spy in the 1992 Fitzgibbon Final.

Barry White (Newcestown) (3rd Euro Studies) (1st Fitzgibbon). This fluent German speaker mesmerised the UCG defence in the Intermediate Final and has conceded three own goals. Staunch member of the four 7 Up gang (it's cool to be clear, Baza).

Seamus Roche (Feomanagh) (2nd Elec. Eng.) (2nd Fitzgibbon). Along with Con, Rochey led the sing song (Tears On My Pillow) after the quarter final. Big QCA merchant.

Enda Connaughton (Kilconierin) (2nd Mech. Eng.) (1st Fitzgibbon). "The Spade" is the main teaser for Wade. He still can't be kept out of bed during the day.

Dermot O'Brien (Miltown Malbay) (4th Prod. Mgt.) (3rd Fitzgibbon). "Lisdoon's" greatest moment in sport: not captaining the Intermediate team but keeping Lohan out of the senior team in last year's League semi final.

Joe Wade (Clonoulty Rossmore) (2nd Prod. Mgt.) (1st Fitzgibbon). Has to be the quietest man on the panel. Galvin's minder when he reaches Oak Lawns. Rumoured to have played county minor for Tipperary.

Paul Finn (South Liberties) (3rd Prod. Mgt.) (1st Fitzgibbon)_. It's alright lads, I'll wash the gear at home. Question: Does he still line out at corner back for the Limerick senior team?

48'A. Tadhg Healy (Mallow Mushrooms) (5th Fitzgibbon). Won gold in the Olympics for umpiring unbiasedly. Rivals Hartley (Lombardo) for Mr. Beautiful. Professional hurler for Pittsburg in his spare time.

Alickadoo: Frank Holohan (Hell's Kitchen) (Sports Science). The only man to ever fully appreciate the talents of Shane Doyle and Fergal Hartley. Frankie reckons he's got this hurling thing sussed.

Disciplinarian: John Lenihan. When Daragh became captain John took a back seat. Member of the "Jobs for the Boys" scheme. The Co op Office's answer to unemployed hurlers.
