The draw for the 2016-17 Harty Cup has been made and there will be a new format to the Munster Post Primary Schools senior 'A' hurling championship this year.
Nineteen schools will take part in the championship as five groups have two teams and three groups have three teams in them.
There are eight groups with two teams to advance from each to the new-look knockout stage of 16 teams.
Defending champions and Limerick city side, Ardscoil Ris will have just one group game - against Bandon and are therefore guaranteed a place in the 'round of 16'.
With some groups only having two teams their game will be used as a seeding for the knockout phase with a group winner to face a group runner-up in the 'round of 16'.

GROUP B: Gaelicolaiste Mhuire Cork, De La Salle Waterford, Thurles CBS.
