Flannan’s and Colman’s battle for favourite’s tag

ONLY one round of the Dr Harty Cup may be completed but it is already obvious that St Flannan’s and St Colman’s are firm favourites for the Munster Colleges senior hurling title.

The great rivals should have matters all their own way again tomorrow as Flannans face Doon CBS in Newport, while Colmans entertain Criost Rí in Caherlag.

The Limerick college have lost many of the side which troubled Flannans for long periods of last year’s semi-final and were beaten by Kilmallock in their opener a fortnight ago.
