FIELDING seven members of the Tipperary All-Ireland minor winning squad, Thurles CBS served notice they will take beating in the Dr Harty Cup with a convincing victory over Midleton CBS in a highly entertaining second round tie at Mitchelstown yesterday.

MIDLETON got a reminder of how difficult it will be to defend their Dr Harty Cup title when they narrowly lost to Waterford Colleges in a thrilling game at Aglish.
