How the Harty Cup is shaping up

AFTER THE confusion in Group A yesterday, the upshot was that Ard Scoil Rís top the group with five points, with Blackwater CS in second place on four points.

It’s the latter’s first year in the championship.

In Group B, defending champions DLS Waterford won all three matches and topped the group with Our Ladys taking second spot after they defeated Carrigaline CS.

Group C sees St. Colmans topping the group but it will take a play off between Flannan’s and Midleton CBS to decide on second spot as both finished level on points.

Last year’s beaten finalists Thurles CBS topped group D with St. Caimin’s taking second place following their victory over Nenagh CBS.

The draws for the quarter-finals will take place after Christmas. Teams who have already met cannot meet again until the semi-final stage.
