Árdscoil Rís are scheduled to play an All-Ireland semi-final next weekend, but will not know their opposition until Thurles CBS face Kilkenny CBS later today. The winner of that game will then decide the make up of the semi-finals with St. Mary's, Athenry, St. Kieran's, Kilkenny and, of course, Árdscoil Rís already through to the last four.
And, Árdscoil Rís manager Derek Larkin is determined that his brilliant side make the most of the opportunity they now enjoy.
"We're not going to stop now," insisted Derek Larkin in Nenagh's McDonagh Park on Thursday last.
"That's not to say we're going to count our chickens either. We've a lot of hurling done and this will take a lot out of us. I suppose the celebrations might take a bit out of us as well, but we're ready to move on."
Derek Larkin worked alongside Liam Cronin, Jimmy Browne, Natal O'Grady and Niall Moran to help Árdscoil Rís land an historic first Harty Cup title. And, the Tullamore man was thrilled by his side's display on Thursday.
"Oh, it's just unbelievable," admitted Derek Larkin.
"Yeah, it was at the third time of asking. It took a lot to get here, but by God these lads have served their apprenticeship down through the years.
"We've been through a lot of finals, Dean Ryan, Rice Cup, White Cup finals you know with more or less the same group of players and they never give up. They always come back.
"We could have won and lost it in the last two games, but they never gave up.
"People were saying that we wouldn't win it today, we were missing a very influential half-back in Cathal Mc (McInerney) who has been fantastic for us and they had Aidan McCormack back.
"A lot of people said we didn't have much hope, but we have full belief in these guys.
"They have worked so hard and they deserved it, no one deserves it more than these guys," Larkin added.
Mark Ryan, Mark Carmody and Seánie O'Brien stole the show for Árdscoil Rís on Thursday afternoon.
Once more Árdscoil Rís got off to a rasping start and led by nine points (2-7 to 0-4) after just 23 minutes. Thurles CBS recovered before half time, but this time Árdscoil were in no mood to ease up.
