Harty Cup 2022/23

[HurlingFan19]

Harty Cup returns tomorrow with 6 Cork teams represented. St Colmans Fermoy, Midleton CBS, CBC, St Francis College Rochestown, Gaelcholáiste Mhuire an Mhainistir Thuaigh and Pobail Scoil na Tríonóide Youghal

Two all Cork clashes tomorrow.
St Colmans v Midleton CBS in Watergrasshill at 1:30
Christian Brothers College, Cork v Gaelcholáiste Mhuire an Mhainistir Thuaigh in Castle Road at 1:30

The other Cork sides fixtures are:
Pobail Scoil Na Tríonóide, Youghal v Our Ladys Templemore in Cahir at 1:30
Thurles C.B.S v St. Francis College Rochestown in Mitchelstown at 1:30

The major positive is that there are 6 Cork teams involved. Youghal and Rochestown making the step up to Harty for the first time in a while. I would imagine Midleton will be the strongest of the Cork sides with a lot of the Cork Minor winning team of 2021 still to call on. Will be interesting to see who will win between themselves and Colmans.

Hopefully we'll see the Harty Cup return back to Cork for the first time since 2019. Cork's record in the Harty over the last 20 years has been woeful so a Harty Cup coming back to Cork would be a major boost to Cork hurling.

That the combined Mon team now rather than the separate AG?

I think its the two schools combined. Their down as the Gaelcholaiste on the Munster PPS website but I believe its both schools involved.

CBC could have their work cut out for them so.

The Mon have a limited enough pick. Mostly Na Piarsaigh lads

Rochestown or Youghal have anyone decent?

Rochestown have william buckley + kevin lyons anyway

It's probably safe to assume William Buckley won't be playing vs CBC due to the county final.

The Harty is serious business though. School wouldn't be happy about losing their star player for another competition that has nothing to do with them. Any of the Barrs lads able to confirm?

No confirmation from me, just common sense. William will not be playing, if anyone is suggesting a first round Harty Cup game is more important than a Senior Hurling County Final they need their head examined
