The Harty Cup - The biggest and best hurling competition there ever was, ever!

Has its Leinster equivalent started?

Thurles CBS v Blackwater Community School in Goatenbridge on the first Wednesday of November is a classic Harty Cup fixture.

Not an ideal venue for Harty Cup fare unless it has been developed in some way in the past 10 years. Literally on the side of the Knockmealdowns. I don’t believe there is any seating or stand either.

Ardfinnan would have been a perfect venue.

Ardfinnan is a football pitch.

Goatenbridge won’t have any 2 point arc’s or motorway lines going down the centre of the field.

Does it have 45’s?

Sure there’ll be no one at it

Probably not but schools usually bring a busload or two of students to these things; Thurles probably aren’t bothering this time

It will but I have no issue with that.

There’ll be a serious class of spectator in attendance.

I played Dean Ryan Cup in Ardfinnan many moons ago

It has

Serious misinformation :cry:

Next week

Nenagh beating Ard Scoil.

Its the weakest AS team in 19 years.

They can probably hand out the cup already…

Nenagh will give them a game of it

30 snipers in cooper helmets going at it. Tipp have so many hurlers coming they might have to go down the Ballygunner route and enter a B team in the All Ireland in a few years.

Thurles CBS 2-29, Blackwater CS Lismore 0-7

I actually watched the first fifteen minutes of Thurles v lismore and it was a fairly even game but Thurles were scoring everything whilst Lismore missed a lot. Turned it off at 2-5 to 0-2 and over to Nenagh v ASR.

Nenagh are good, have a fair goal threat in Eoghan Doughan, Hackett, Billy o Brien & Joe O Dwyer.
ASR did dominate the third quarter but never looked like getting the goals necessary to real in Nenagh.

You left out a game there.
