LIMERICK side John the Baptist Community School, Hospital will look to book a pace in the semi-finals of the Dr Harty Cup today, Wednesday, when facing Thurles CBS in their quarter-final clash at Dundrum, Co Tipperary, 1.30pm.

If Hospital win, they would advance to meet Christian Brothers College or Nenagh CBS in the semi finals on January 26.
