CORK’S interest in this year’s Dr Harty Cup ended in Cahir yesterday with the one-point defeat of Midleton CBS to Our Lady’s Templemore. In appalling underfoot conditions, the east Cork school put in a huge effort but two first-half goals for the Tipperary team proved their undoing in the end. Fr O’Neill’s Joe Millerick delivered eight of the Midleton CBS total of 10 points with Billy Dunne and Niall Motherway the only other contributors. Tipp star Noel McGrath’s brother, John scored 1-1 for Templemore and they now go on to play Árd Scoil Rís in the semi-final. In the B competition Cork schools Rochestown College and Pobal Scoil Na Trionnoide from Youghal recorded good wins over Patrician Academy, Mallow and St Joseph’s, Kilmallock respectively. ● See P50-51 for more.

Munster assistant coach Anthony Foley and Leinster’s Greg Feek will be part of that coaching team for the Wolfhounds game, and will continue to work with Ireland throughout the 6 Nations. The squad will see several further additions, following this weekend’s European games. Both squads will train in Carton House, with a Wolfhounds panel selected later next week. After the game, a smaller training squad will be selected for Wales. Commenting on the captaincy, Declan Kidney said “Jamie had done a really good job for the squad and management during November and I felt that now was the cor-
