Harty rivals gear up for another thriller

THE third episode of this year’s Dr Harty Cup final saga takes place at McDonagh Park, Nenagh today between Thurles CBS and Ardscoil Rís and, if it’s half as good as the two previous games, then hurling fans are in for another treat.

Should there be a resolution this time, there will be a lot of tears shed by the losers after super hurling action that produced all that is best in the game.

As in the two previous matches, Thurles CBS will again be favourites, this time on the strength of the availability of Aidan McCormack. It’s been something of a rollercoaster for him. He missed the final because of suspension but when the replay was re-fixed six days later, he missed out a second time as the suspension wasn’t due to end until midnight on the sixth day.
