Harty Cup Round-up: Holders Thurles CBS edge St Colman’s

Holders Thurles CBS were made to work for a 1-22 to 2-16 win over St Colman’s in their Group C clash in Clonmel. 

Having been tied at 0-11 to 1-8 at half-time — Jamie O’Leary with the St Colman’s goal — the second-half began in a similar fashion, with Colman’s leading by 1-13 to 0-15 after 40 minutes.

Conor Stakelum’s goal put Thurles ahead and five points on the trot gave them breathing space, with midfielder Dillon Quirke impressive from placed balls. Kyle Cronin did give Colman’s hope with a second goal late on but they couldn’t get any closer.
