De La Salle look for last eight spot

De La Salle will reach the quarter final stages of this years Dr Harty Cup if they avoid defeat against Castletroy Colleges in a re-fixed round one game this Wednesday afternoon at Cashel (2pm).

Six of the teams that will contest the quarter finals are already through including Blackwater Community School from Lismore and the holders Dungarvan Colleges.

De La Salle head into Wednesday’s game needing a draw to secure their place in the last eight, but if they were to loose to the County Limerick side, the Waterford City side would be out of the competition.

The outcome of another game played on Wednesday will confirm the remaining team to contest the quarter finals.

At Charleville, Midleton CBS need just a point to ensure that they will be in the hat for the quarter finals, but should Nenagh CBS win the game, it is they that will advance to the last eight.

There is one game down for decision on Thursday, but the outcome of this game has little bearing on who will reach the last eight, as Ard Scoil Ris have already won a place in the last eight of the competition, and even if Clonmel CBS were to beat the Limerick side, they could not overtake which ever from De La Salle or Castletroy College get the better result.

In group two, Our Lady’s from Templemore and Blackwater Community School have qualified for the last eight, in group three Thurles CBS so far are the only team to reach the last eight and in group four, Dungarvan Colleges, Doon CBS and Saint Flannan’s all finished with six points from their four games played, but because the Ennis side finished with a worse off score difference to the other two, they were eliminated.

In the last eight, Ard Scoil Ris, Our Lady’s – Templemore, Thurles CBS and Dungarvan Colleges will be seeded teams as the four group winners and cannot meet each other. Teams that have already met in the competition also cannot meet at the quarter final stages of the competition, meaning that an All-Waterford game involving Dungarvan Colleges and either Blackwater Community School or De La Salle could be on the cards.

The quarter final games are expected to be played on January 16 with the semi finals pencilled in for February 3 and the final on February 24.
