Comhairle Ardoideachais and the Irish Daily Mail are delighted to announce the Irish Daily Mail Future Champions Teams of the 2013 Irish Daily Mail Higher Education Championships.

After two gripping weekends of Gaelic Football and Hurling hosted by Athlone IT and GMIT respectively, DIT claimed a historic first Irish Daily Mail Sigerson Cup success while UCC added to their record title haul by putting back-back titles together for the first time in the Irish Daily Mail Fitzgibbon Cup since WIT (2003 & 2004) . IT Blanchardstown, SRC & NCI also claimed Irish Daily Mail Football Championships while LIT-Tipperary, St.Patrick’s College Thurles & IT Blanchardstown were successful in the Irish Daily Mail Senior Hurling competitions.  

Both of the premier competition champions are well represented on their respective teams (DIT (7), UCC(7), while losing finalists UCC (4) and Mary Immaculate (3) also make a significant contribution. Kerry make the biggest contribution to the football side, while Cork has the most representatives on the hurling side. Tipperary has 2 players on the football side which reflects their recent underage successes.  

Those selected will be honoured at a function in Croke Park on the evening of Monday April 15th.
