THURLES CBS bid to dethrone champions DLS Waterford and claim their first Dr Harty Cup (Munster Colleges SHC A) since 1956 at Cashel this afternoon.

WHILE hurling folk will welcome the return of the Dr Harty Cup after the Christmas recess, the pity is the three quarter-finals which have survived the weather so far are all down for decision this afternoon. Followers would love to see all games, but with fixture deadlines to be met, that is not possible.
