YOUNG MUNSTER completed a hat-trick of Limerick Charity Cup finals wins when disposing of the challenge of a youthful Shannon side at a wet and blustery Dooradoyle last night.

GREATNESS can often be spotted in young players by their willingness to back themselves — and by that criteria, Brian Haugh is destined for a very bright future.

DIFFERENT motivations but the same end goal sums up today’s Avonmore Milk Munster Senior Schools Cup clash between PBC Cork and Rockwell College at Musgrave Park (3pm).

ROCKWELL survived a fierce CBC onslaught in the final five minutes of a pulsating Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup semi-final at Clanwilliam Park, Tipperary, on Saturday to qualify for their third successive final.

CUP rugby is often about inspirational moments and Rockwell produced one gem to settle this intense Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup clash at Clanwilliam yesterday.

THEY like their barnstorming number eights in Rockwell College, and Luke Cahill appears to have all the weaponry in his arsenal to follow in the footsteps of Denis Leamy and Paddy Butler.

LEINSTER’S U18 schools side left Cork with a victory over Munster to their names last night, just as their predecessors did 111 years ago.
