Thurles firepower should end the famine

THURLES CBS bid to dethrone champions DLS Waterford and claim their first Dr Harty Cup (Munster Colleges SHC A) since 1956 at Cashel this afternoon.

Tipperary legend Jimmy Doyle was on the side that defeated the North Mon over half a century ago and hopes are high that the famine will end today.

Thurles came through the Round Robin series unbeaten but it was the two incredible quarter-finals against sister school Our Lady’s, Templemore, which created the headlines and will be ranked amongst the greatest matches in the competition’s history.
