REIGNING CHAMPIONS MIDLETON CBS made a successful start to this season’s Dr Harty Cup competition today with victory in their group opener against fellow Cork school Hamilton HS Bandon.
The East Cork school were 0-20 to 1-11 victors in their Group D game played in Whitechurch. Killeagh player Ryan McCarthy was in good point-scoring form as he hit 0-12 with defenders Ritchie Landers and Ciaran Joyce other survivors from last February’s final win. Clare outfit St Joseph’s Tulla are the other school in the three-team group.
