Nenagh CBS made a most dramatic exit from last season’s Harty Cup. It was a premature and dispiriting exit that has shaped their road to Ennis and a shot at history. It was an exit this writer had a ringside seat to.

On a busy and concluding afternoon of Harty group fare 15 months ago, we were dispatched to Hospital for the meeting of Nenagh and Gaelcholáiste Mhuire an Mhainistir Thuaidh.
