It means that if Midleton beat De La Salle in Fethard Town Park at 12 noon today, they will top the group &#8211; but a defeat for them would allow Colman\u2019s to take second place if they beat Clonmel in Bansha and effect enough of a scoring-difference turnaround.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4862223_5_articleinline_LC_20harty_20hurl_2008.jpg\" alt=\"Gaelchol\u00e1iste Mhuire's Darragh de Barra in action against Christian Brothers College's Cillian Connolly two weeks ago.
