There were two thrilling semi-finals to the boys U18 singles at the Irish Junior Close championships at Rushbrooke, Cork yesterday.

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.

CBC CORK coach Peter Melia had warned his side that Glenstal can’t be taken lightly anymore, and he was emphatically proved right as the Murroe school pushed his troops all the way in this Avonmore Milk Munster Senior Schools Cup quarter-final at Temple Hill yesterday.
