A PERFORMANCE brimming with character saw St Joseph’s Tulla advance to their first ever Harty Cup final.
What makes St Joseph’s run to the Dr Harty Cup semi-final all the more impressive is the fact that they had to produce comebacks to see off St Colman’s College and now Christian Brothers College.
A first Dr Harty Cup semi-final awaits St Joseph’s of Tulla after another spirited fightback earned them victory over Cork’s Christian Brothers College at Kilmallock on Saturday afternoon.

Cork deservedly powered into a semi-final meeting with Limerick in a fortnight’s time after emphatically seeing off Clare on Saturday afternoon.
