CLARE, CORK, WATERFORD and Tipperary sides will make up the last four of this year’s Dr Harty Cup after the conclusion of the quarter-final action today. 

Cork’s famous North Mon are back in the semi-finals for the first time in 29 years. Now known as Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG, they claimed an eight-point victory over 2023 champions Cashel CS.

Their victory sets up the 19-time champions for a clash with record winners St Flannan’s, who have 22 titles to their name, in the final four.

Craig Ó Suilleabháin tallied 13 points across the hour at UL to take his haul to 1-51 in four games.

His side led 0-8 to 0-4 having played into the wind and never looked back to run out eight-point winners; 0-18 to 0-10.

Flannan’s will fly the Banner flag after securing their progress with a storming finish into the wind against Midleton CBS.

The Ennis school would’ve been gutted to trail 0-10 to 1-9 at half-time after playing with the conditions at Fethard Town Park. Cork U20 Barry Walsh scored a stunning solo goal for Midleton as part of his 1-9 total.

A long-range Harry Doherty free deflected off a Midleton hurley to find the net as part of his 1-12 tally but Midleton still led by five approaching the final 10 minutes.

Dara Kennedy was just back on the field after receiving lengthy treatment for a head cut when he sliced through for a 51st-minute goal and Doherty struck the deciding free in the 63rd minute to seal the outcome; 2-16 to 1-18.

Thurles CBS knocked out Ardscoil Rís in another heavyweight clash at UL thanks to an unanswered 2-10 burst approaching half-time.

Cormac Fitzpatrick and Jack Hayes bagged the goals as Thurles eased into a 2-17 to 0-8 interval lead in the second part of a double-header on the UL 4G.

Fitzpatrick ended with 1-10 as Thurles had eight points to spare by the final whistle; 2-25 to 0-23.

Meanwhile, the second game at Fethard went the way of De La Salle College, Waterford, who had knocked out reigning champions Nenagh CBS in the last round.

Up against CBC, Cork, the Déise standard-bearers had 11 different scorers across the hour, spearheaded by 1-4 from joint-captain Adam Regan.

Conor Power’s deflected goal had them 1-12 to 0-8 ahead at half-time but goals from Conor McCarthy and Cian O’Flynn brought Christians back within a point.

Regan responded inside a minute with the killer goal and they closed out with nine of the final 11 points.
