Flannanโs will fly the Banner flag after securing their progress with a storming finish into the wind against Midleton CBS.
The Ennis school wouldโve 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 Powerโs deflected goal had them 1-12 to 0-8 ahead at half-time but goals from Conor McCarthy and Cian OโFlynn 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 Flannanโs are no slouches either. The semi finale and final should be high quality games. Hereโs hoping anyway.
Strange results all group winners beaten in quarters thrown wide open now Mon first time since 96 in semi flannans first since 2000
@Mark Coughlan: not correct, St Flannanโs 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.
@Ronan H: and in 2004 and 2005!
Flannans and The Mon. Always great battles down the years.
