Harty cup and other secondary school GAA 2022-23

I wouldn’t know that.

12 schools left in this great competition.

Thurles, Nenagh, Cashel, Templemore, Flannans, Midleton, CBC, Colmans, Charleville, Ard Scoil, Hospital and Castletroy

4 Tipp
4 Cork
3 Limerick
1 Clare

Worrying from a Waterford perspective that DLS are out and hurling is also gone back in Dungarvan & Lismore.

ASR might aswell be a Clare team, 10 starters plus seven of the 11 subs today.

How has that happened ? Clare Fellas nearly Stoped coming in a few years ago

Fair point.

There was a Dean Ryan final between ASR and Flannans 2 years ago with 27 Clare players involved. A nice trial for the Clare minors.

They are doing great work over there to keep hurling going.

Corn Ui Dhuill kicked off this week also. Not one scree of coverage. The same papers who ignored it will have 16 page pullouts on Leinster schools rugby in January. The Examiner really do a fantastic job promoting second level GAA in Munster.

Leinster GAA used to do a press launch before covid and there would be a good bit of media interest. Its a pity because the standard is generally higher than the Harty.

The standard is more or less the same with far more depth in Munster due to more hurling counties in the province.

Kieran’s monopoly in the Leinster competition does not lend itself to media coverage.

The Harty cup on the other hand has 8-10 schools who are always close and another 16 who go up and down between Harty and B but can be competitive on occasion.

Any word on draw for next round?

4 best teams that topped their groups are into the QF, I think it’s an open draw between the other 8 with no repeats allowed. Open to correction.

I see the Green (Tralee) beat Ard Scoil in the Limerick A hurling final for first years.

Fair play to them for letting them in and fair play to the Green for winning it

The Clare pipeline must be turned off now too for Ard Scoil or do they only start coming in after junior cert

a great win Julio as you say. Hurling is promoted as seriously as football in the Green (CBS) now. North Kerry lads tend to head to The Green in Tralee because of the quality of the hurling promotion there. They have very good hurling people teaching in the Green. Tralee Parnells also contribute players so all in all a positive story

Fair play to Limerick schools for leaving the Green into the Limerick competition is right

Templemore result a shock?

Young O’Donoghue missed a score able free to earn CCS a draw.
Hard luck on the chap, he was supposed to have given an excellent individual display.n
Shipped a heavy knock before the free apparently

Not really, there’s a good few teams around mid table level of the Harty, Templemore fall into that category along with Cashel, Hospital & Charleville.

Best teams in it are thurles, ASR, Midleton, Flannans. Nenagh & CBC will compete also.

Great win by Charleville. Smallest school in the competition I believe.
