THERE’LL BE A new format for the prestigious Munster hurling colleges competition, the Dr Harty Cup, next season.
A decision was taken to move away from the five-team groups of recent years and the format will now follow the B & C Munster hurling competitions.
The eight teams that contested last year’s quarter-finals are seeded into eight different groups. The winners of each group will face the runner-up from another group at the last 16 stage.
There will be four rounds of action before Christmas with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final to be held in the opening months of 2017.
The format for the Corn Uí Mhuirí will remain the same as recent years.
