Small village outside Cashel where Aidan O Brien trains horses.

Junior B club for as long as I know who are in the same parish as Cashel thus lose players to them.

The Ragg is the natural location for Thurles v Templemore or Nenagh. Some great battles there down the years.

Unusual name for a GAA club, you’d think it would have appeared on the radar.
Is that where Ballydoyle is so? (That’s the name of O’Briens operation right?)

I was there in 1998 when Thurles played Templemore in a Harty Cup game. The build up was overshadowed by a classic piece of attempted skullduggery from Thurles CBS; there was a Kearney from Clonoulty, a County Minor at the time, on the CBS Harty Cup panel who was found to be in full time employment in Tipperary Water. There was a serious grudge match feel to proceedings.

ASR won’t be hectic this year. I don’t know about them being favs to top group, I’d be surprised if they do anything

I just presumed they would be good with their selection from all over.

Flannans won the Dean Ryan last year and that Cashel team has a good few county minors so maybe ASR will lose out.

Cracking goal by Keith Smyth there

Ard Scoil through to the semi final after beating Templemore

They were a goal down at half time but won 1-22 to 1-17

Match was delayed by 30 mins as no ref turned up :smiley:

That was closer than expected.

Cashel, Thurles and Midleton make up the semi finals.

Thurles got a last minute goal to beat Colmans.
Cashel beat CBC by a goal.
Midleton beat DLS by 5.

I saw most of it. Templemore had a lad Ormand left handed lovely player, tapped over a few points.

ASR have a huge half back line. Scully centre back looks like a senior player condition wise

Miserable conditions

Jamie Ormonde, brother of Andrew who is in with Tipp seniors. Smashing player.

According to twitter Ard Scoil were very wasteful in the first half

Knockout Harty Cup games being played on an Astro Turf is the final straw for me I’m afraid.

Everything now is a box ticking exercise in fulfilling fixtures so nothing can get in the way of the Inter County season.
