LAST UPDATE | 14 Dec 2021
THE DRAWS HAVE been made this afternoon for the 2022 Fitzgibbon Cup and Sigerson Cup competitions.
The premier third-level GAA competitions return after being cancelled in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year’s finals will take place in IT Carlow, with eight deciders across various grades to be held over five days between 16-20 February.
Due to a procedural error it was necessary to redo the draws today for both competitions.
DCU and UCC are the reigning champions in the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cup respectively, after their successes back in the spring of 2020.
Fitzgibbon Cup holders UCC have been pitted against NUI Galway, UCD and Mary Immaculate College this year.

quite like the old crown paints jersey
@sams theman: the adidas Carlsberg sponsored jersey should be modernized and made as are home kit that kit scared away teams it was raw
That keeper kit is fantastic
Meet the new jersey, same as the old jersey!
It’s not bad. I don’t like the way the sponsor logo is white and the crest and NB logo is yellow/gold. Looks strange. It clashes a bit. All white for me id prefer. Anywho. Looks to be last year with new balance. Massive money nike deal looks to be coming. Which is good. Having the same jersey as all nike sponsored teams….. not so good.
@Seaniecp: Bring back Adidas and the three stripes!
@Seaniecp: the sponsor logo is far too high
@Jack Ryan: new balance jerseys have been top notch
@Colm Connolly: ya I guess it is really
Paisley-era shirts were all v-neck. This isn’t. #Fail
@Brendan Moriarty: in fairness they do say it’s inspired by the jersey not copied
@Brendan Moriarty: He would of been 100 this year, read into it .
Can’t wait to see what monstrosities NB have planned for this terms away shirts
No level of mawkish sentimentality is high enough for this crowd…

@Joe O’riordan: delicious salty tears
@Joe O’riordan: it’s called tradition.
@Joe O’riordan: Spurs new stadium, beautiful, Hazard to Madrid beautiful, Chelsea cash nipple run dry, bea…..
It looks OK to me, very like the one from last year (which I loved), but with the pinstripes now white. That goalie jersey should have been the away kit IMO.
