Our Lady’s looking for duals to land crown

Dual All-Ireland minor medallists are rare, making it an even smaller club those to have achieved that as well as winning a Dr Harty Cup.

Nemo Rangers and Cork star Brian Murphy, the gold-standard against which to measure dual success, has won a Corn Uí Mhuirí medal with Coláiste Chríost Rí and so did Tony O’Sullivan, with Cork and North Mon.

John McGrath and Colin O’Riordan will enter into that select bracket on Sunday if they help Our Lady’s Secondary School of Templemore to victory against Dungarvan Colleges in the Harty final. Martin Burke, assistant manager to Tom Byrnes, acknowledges the benefits of having two players with such experience.
