CORK’S interest in this year’s Dr Harty Cup ended inCahir yesterday with the one-point defeat of MidletonCBS to Our Lady’s Templemore.In appalling underfoot conditions, the east Cork
school put in a huge effort but two first-half goals forthe Tipperary team proved their undoing in the end.Fr O’Neill’s Joe Millerick delivered eight of the Mid-
leton CBS total of 10 points with Billy Dunne and NiallMotherway the only other contributors.Tipp star Noel McGrath’s brother, John scored 1-1
for Templemore and they now go on to play Árd ScoilRís in the semi-final.In the B competition Cork schools Rochestown Col-
lege and Pobal Scoil Na Trionnoide from Youghal re-corded good wins over Patrician Academy, Mallowand St Joseph’s, Kilmallock respectively.● See P50-51 for more.
