Powerful Thurles march on

Thurles CBS 0-11 Our Lady’s (Templemore) 0-5

This was the third year in-a-row the schools met at the quarter-final stage and the Templemore school had high hopes of finally breaking the hoodoo.

However on a day totally unsuitable for hurling, the Thurles side made light of the difficult underfoot conditions to set up a semi-final meeting with surprise package Blackwater Community School on February 7.
