Blackwater CS ready for Déise derby battle

TWO cracking Harty Cup games down for decision this afternoon with an all-Waterford tie taking place at Fraher Field, Dungarvan between DLS Waterford and Blackwater CS while at Mourneabbey, Coláiste Chríost Rí take on Charleville CBS in an all-Cork clash.

Blackwater have been making massive strides since they entered this championship four years ago, and school principal Denis Ring makes no secret of his desire to see his side bask in the glories of his former school St. Colman’s, where he won four Harty Cup titles.

In their opening round, Blackwater failed to St Flannan’s by two points after a titanic struggle, but if they play with the same passion, could prevent the Waterford city school from advancing any further.
