Powerful Pres roll over Rock

PRESENTATION BROTHERS COLLEGE, Cork, were crowned Avonmore Munster Schools’ Senior Cup champions for the 28th time at Thomond Park yesterday when they turned in a highly impressive performance in defeating Rockwell.

In doing so, they joined CBC at the top of the roll of honour and richly deserved to do. They took control as early as the third minute with a beautifully-executed try and although Rockwell gave them many worrying moments, there was no doubting the more controlled and efficient side in a sporting, enjoyable and well-refereed decider came out on top.

Whereas Rockwell looked a little overawed in the opening stages, Pres clicked into top gear and struck for a quick lead when, after a series of concerted attacks, they carved the opposition open and centre Daniel Horgan coasted through for a try that out-half Séan Óg Murphy converted.
