Crescent College at last taste national success
Sean O’Callaghan’s charges, who beat Sullivan Upper 6-2 and drew with St Gerard’s on day one, came from behind to beat Kilkenny College 2-1 early yesterday to stay in contention. Gerard’s set them a three-goal target for their final clash with Salerno but an Aebfhinn Bourke-inspired 4-0 success secured the crown for last year’s runners-up.
It completes a long odyssey for the Limerick school, who have been Munster kingpins in four of the past five seasons but had found national glory harder to come by.
