Career

Fitzgerald played schoolboy hurling with St Colman's College in Fermoy on a team that won consecutive Harty Cup titles and an All-Ireland Colleges Championship title in 1997.[1][2] He later lined out with the University of Limerick and won a Fitzgibbon Cup title in 2002. At club level, Fitzgerald first lined out with Castlelyons in the juvenile and underage grades and was just 17-years-old when he won a Cork JAHC title with the team in 1997.[3] This was followed by a Cork IHC title and a Cork SHC title with divisional side Imokilly in 1998.[4] Fitzgerald first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team that beat Kilkenny in the All-Ireland minor hurling final.[5] He progressed through the under-21 and intermediate teams before winning a Munster Championship title with the senior team in 2000. A broken collarbone ruled him out of the 2003 championship, however, he returned to the panel for the 2004 league.[6]
