John The Baptist Community School, Hospital Come Up Short
John The Baptist Community School, Hospital suffered a 0-24 to 0-15 defeat to Thurles CBS in the opening round of the Dr Harty Cup on Wednesday afternoon in Dundrum.
A tight first half kept the Limerick school in the hunt until three late points doubled the winners' lead. They could have bridged the gap after the break had they converted a goal chance before their opponents moved into a match-winning lead going into the final quarter.
Outstanding individual performances came from Cillian Minogue and Darragh Hickey for the winners, and Riain McNamara and Shane O'Dea for the losers. However, the greater depth of talent in the Thurles lineup proved to be the difference in the end.
