Tipp stars can fire Nenagh

They might have won an All-Ireland title after Sunday’s final replay win over Dublin, but for some of the Tipperary minor side the celebrations have had to be cut short.

Due to Tipp’s involvement in the replay, any first-round Dr Harty Cup games featuring schools with county minors were postponed, so today’s Group C clash of Thurles CBS and Nenagh CBS in Templemore is a first outing for both schools.

Nenagh, beaten finalists against Coláistí na nDéise last year, beat Thurles in a quarter-final replay en route to the decider, and they can call upon eight of their starting side from 2011-12.
