THERE'S a strong Cork interest in the knockout sections of the Harty Cup and Corn Uí Mhuirí competitions.
Christians, Midleton CBS and St Colman's made it through to the last eight of the prestigious hurling competition, with Spiroid Naomh, Rochestown, Skibbereen and Hamilton High involved in the football quarter-finals, while Clonakilty will join them if they beat Tralee CBS. That last group game fell foul to the cold snap and might not get played before Christmas, though Friday is still a possibility.
There's one Cork semi-finalist guaranteed, as CSN Bishopstown and Skibb Community School collide in one of the quarter-finals, which are slated for Wednesday, January 18.
In the Harty Cup, St Colman's will face Midleton CBS if they both win their quarter-finals on Wednesday, January 11. CBC are on the other side of the draw, which features Cashel, last year's All-Ireland champions Ardscoil Rís and Templemore.

There's also an impressive Cork presence in the U19 B Hurling quarter-finals, with Charleville, Hamilton High, Coláiste Choilm and Coachford are through to the last eight against schools from Tipp (2), Clare and Limerick. It leaves the potential for a couple of Cork derbies in the semis. Back in 2019, Rochestown beat Hammies in the decider on the same afternoon Midleton beat CBC in the Harty final.
