The penultimate stage of the Dr. Harty Cup group rounds will take place today with seven games down for decision.

In the ultra-competitive Group 1, four schools are still in the shake-up. Thurles CBS top the group and will clinch a Quarter-Final place with victory over Blackwater CS today in Clonmel. A win for Blackwater however will bring them right back in to contention. In the other game, it will be an all Limerick derby as unbeaten West Limerick Colleges look to dethrone Ard Scoil Ris, the latter of which knows that a defeat will mean they will be very unlikely to qualify. A cracker is expected in Kilmallock for this one.

There is only one game down for decision today in Group 2 as St Colmans Fermoy take on DLS Waterford in Fraher Field. Dungarvan. St. Colmans won their opening game against Doon and a second victory here will see them remain in contention for a knockout place heading in to the last round. DLS Waterford are winless thus far and will look to finish their 2014/2015 campaign today on a high note.  The other Round 4 game in this group between Doon and Castletroy College has been deferred to next Tuesday.

In Group 3, Rochestown College remain undefeated and they will travel to Charleville to take on St. Caimins Shannon, this one with a 2pm throw-in. The Shannon school can get back in to contention here with a victory while a Rochestown win could cement their place in the knockout stages. PS Youghal will play their last game in the group stages against a Charleville CBS side which has lost their two games to date. A victory for PS Youghal will ensure a place in the Quarter-Finals.

Finally, the game of the week in Group 4 takes place in Church Road Blackrock as Cork rivals Midleton CBS and Hamilton High School Bandon take to the field having each won their two games to date. Victory here will guarantee a Quarter-Final place while the loser will still have a chance to qualify the next day out. This has the ingredients to be a cracking game. At the other end of the table, Nenagh CBS can get back in to contention with a victory over HS Clonmel at Templemore.
