TOMORROW’S Dr Harty Cup tie between Farranferris and St Joseph’s (Borrisoleigh) could be a nostalgic affair.

DEFENDING champions St. Flannan’s, Ennis will be without two key players for tomorrow’s Dean Ryan Cup final against DLS Waterford in Cashel (2 p.m.).

CHRISTIAN Brothers College, Cork, one of the great rugby schools, proved they can play hurling too with a 4-9 to 3-11 victory over Farranferris in the Locker Room O'Callaghan Cup (Cork Colleges "A" SHC) quarter-final yesterday.

CORK Colleges break with tradition tomorrow night when Farranferris and Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh clash under lights at Páirc Uí Rinn in the O’Callaghan Cup final (7.30 pm).

IT is with more than a little bemusement that I have been following recent media repots of the stand-off between Bishop Buckley, sole trustee of St Finbarr’s College, Farranferris, Cork, and the staff and parents of the students, regarding the proposed closure or amalgamation of the college.

A CONTROVERSIAL plan to amalgamate two of Cork City’s best-known schools must go ahead, despite opposition from teachers and parents, the Bishop of Cork and Ross has told the Irish Examiner.

TWO of the most famous hurling nurseries in Munster - Farranferris and Limerick CBS - have opted out of the Irish Examiner sponsored Dr. Harty Cup.
