The 2014/2015 Dr. Harty Cup resumes this week with eight games in Round 2.

This week, the Game of the Week sees Castletroy College taking on De La Salle Waterford on Wednesday in Cahir at 1:30pm. More details below.

The action began on Tuesday with a 1-20 to 2-14 victory for Our Ladys Templemore over Charleville CBS in Group 3. Our Ladys led by 0-13 to 0-5 at half-time having played with the aid of the wind in the opening period. Our Ladys stretched their lead to 10 points early in the second half before goals by Tim O'Mahony and Darragh Fitzgibbon helped Charleville to go on a 2-4 to 0-1 run to leave just a point between the teams after 42 minutes. The schools scored two points each before a goal by Our Ladys substitute Radostaw Natkaniec in the 51st minute put some daylight between the teams. Charleville fought back to reduce the deficit to two points and despite some late pressure, the Our Ladys defence held out to secure a three point win.

On Wednesday, there are seven attractive games down for decision, all of which start at 1:30pm. In Group 1, Thurles CBS will look to build on their impressive Round 1 performance against Flannans when they take on West Limerick Colleges playing their first game in the competition. This game takes place in Claughan.  The other Group 1 encounter sees PS Blackwater looking to rebound from their opening day loss to the defending champions Ard Scoil Ris when they play St. Flannans in Kilmallock.

In Group 2, our Game of the Week sees Castletroy College taking on De La Salle Waterford in Cahir. Castletroy had a bye in Round 1 and come in to this game looking to make a good start backed by Limerick Minors Lorcan Lyons, Barry Nash and Andy la Touche Cosgrave. De La Salle on the other hand will be looking to avoid another defeat ably led by their management team of Kevin Moran and Johnathan O Mordha.

In the other game in this group, St. Colmans Fermoy and Gaelcolaiste Mhuire will meet at Watergrasshill. Both schools had opening round victories, coincidently by a margin of four points. St. Colmans may have more confidence going in to this game having defeated 2013/2014 finalists Scoil Na Trionoide Naofa Doon in Round 1 but Gaelcolaiste Mhuire will also be encouraged by their 1-14 to 1-10 victory over De La Salle Waterford.

In Group 3, St. Caimins Shannon will play their first game in the competition against a Pobalscoil na Tríonóide Youghal side which recorded an impressive two point victory over Our Ladys Templemore in Round 1. This game is fixed for Charleville.
Finally, in Group 4 there are two Tipperary schools looking to stay in contention after opening round defeats. Nenagh CBS lost out in Round 1 to Hamilton High School Bandon after a high scoring game, 4-10 to 2-13. On this occasion, they take on a Dungarvan CBS side who were impressive 2-11 to 0-7 winners over High School Clonmel last time out. The venue for Wednesday's game is Leahy Park Cashel. For the Clonmel school, a victory is essential as they travel to Fraher Field Dungarvan to play Midleton CBS who received a bye in Round 1. Midleton as defending Dean Ryan champions and semi-finalists again this season will look to build on their success in the Junior ranks and qualify for the Harty Cup knockout stages.
