Harty Cup holders face group of death

Brendan Larkin

North Mon, who have amalgamated with their Gael Colaiste, will play defending champions St. Flannan's in the opening game in Group A. St Colmans are in the same group, which is going to make qualification for the knock out stages very difficult.

Group B throws up an interesting clash between Waterford rivals DLS and Colaiste na Deise.
