*****

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

Corkโ€™s famous North Mon are back in the semi-finals for the first time in 29 years. Now known as Gaelcholรกiste 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 Flannanโ€™s, who have 22 titles to their name, in the final four.

Craig ร“ Suilleabhรกin 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.

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

The Ennis school wouldโ€™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 Rรญs 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 Dรฉise standard-bearers had 11 different scorers across the hour, spearheaded by 1-4 from joint-captain Adam Regan.

Conor Powerโ€™s deflected goal had them 1-12 to 0-8 ahead at half-time but goals from Conor McCarthy and Cian Oโ€™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.

    Good to see four counties represented in the semi finals.

    Sean Og is in a roll and will be hard to stop.

    DLS have a good team this year. Thurles and St Flannanโ€™s are no slouches either. The semi finale and final should be high quality games. Hereโ€™s hoping anyway.

    @Mark Coughlan: not correct, St Flannanโ€™s won the Harty Cup in 2020.

    @Mark Coughlan: DLS won their group with North Mon a distant second. I think DLS best them by 8 or 9 points in the group phase.
