Is the Fitz cup round robin these days?

I saw some results during the week last week but it didn't seem like every team was playing. I'm particularly interested to see how my own alma-mater, DCU fare in their first year back in the competition since my own days in the college.

I thought the days of the Pat Hartnett, mature students playing was long gone, but I see Paul Kelly's name down for UL as well as somewhere where Paul Galvin was doing a fashion course in Dublin was able to play Sigerson.
Kelly must be well into his thirties, what sort of course might he be doing?

not sure what course hes doing but I wouldn't have thought it too unusual. PJ Ryan of Kilkenny was a blocklayer. He went back to college because he couldn't get any work. He did 2 years in Carlow doing some sports management course or other, and played Ryan cup while there.

I reckon we'll see more and more of this in the years ahead.

Kelly worked in the bank in Kilkenny as far as I know. Not sure if he still is or not, or what hes doing in college now.
