It has been a long process for Cork minor hurling manager Pat Kenneally to finalise his championship squad and finally they open their campaign with a clash against Limerick at Páirc Uí Chaoimh tonight (7pm), with Kenneally outlining the selection system.

Ardscoil Rís ambitions of claiming a three Harty Cups in-a-row are still intact but those hopes came desperately close to being extinguished in a dramatic semi-final clash in Tipperary Town yesterday afternoon.

A DOMINANT second-half in which they outscored their opponents by 10 points to two saw reigning champions Árdscoil Rís comfortably defeat Cork college Coláiste Chríost Rí in this second round Harty Cup game at chilly Mallow yesterday.
