2019 WINNERS MIDLETON CBS will take on 2018 champions Ardscoil Rís in the quarter-finals of the Dr Harty Cup in January.

The last eight draws were made this afternoon for the prestigious Munster GAA post-primary schools competitions. Both were postponed in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

With reigning champions St Flannan’s, who triumphed in February 2020, knocked out at the last round, the most recent Dr Harty Cup winners are Midleton CBS and Ardscoil Rís, the pair pitted together in a standout tie.  The quarter-finals are due to take place on the week ending Sunday 9 January.
