Thurles ready for a Harty celebration

JIMMY DOYLE entered Thurles CBS as a boy and left a man.

At 17 he delivered an unbelievable performance as the famed CBS defeated North Monastery to win the 1956 Harty Cup final, the last time the title was won by a Tipperary school.

His flair and nerveless hurling were the catalyst for Thurles’s one-point victory and announced Doyle as a talent with the potential to go all the way to the top.
