In Group B matters were already decided in this group with St Brendan’s and Coláiste Na Sceilge having clinched quarter-final spots before today’s last round of games. St Brendan’s stayed top on six points with a 1-14 to 2-6 win in Cromane over Coláiste Na Sceilge. Elsewhere in that group, St Flannan’s (Ennis) defeated Mercy Mounthawk Tralee by 3-8 to 1-13.
In Group C High School Clonmel were already guaranteed a quarter-final place while Rochestown College joined them in the last eight. Rochestown College ran out 1-8 to 0-6 winners over High School Clonmel in Mourneabbey. The other game in that group saw St Fachtna’s emerge victorious by 3-11 to 2-6 against West Limerick Colleges in Fitzgerald Stadium.
Finally in Group D it was a straight fight between Coláiste Chríost Rí and IS Killorglin who meet today in Knocknagree. IS Killorglin won 3-8 to 3-7 and they advance to join PS Chorca Dhuibhne in the quarter-finals.
**********
Last year’s Dr Harty Cup finalists SNTN Doon got this year’s campaign back on track yesterday with a 0-15 to 0-12 win over Limerick rivals Castletroy CC in the Gaelic Grounds.
In a hard fought encounter where the sides were level at 0-8 apiece at the break, Doon hit the final three points of the match to pull clear. Freetaker Barry Murphy was their hero as he struck 0-10.
The result leaves Group 2 delicately poised heading into the final round of games with Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG, Castletroy CC, St Colman’s (Fermoy) and SNTN Doon all on four points.
