CBC pushed all the way by newcomers Castletroy

Castletroy College 5

With their seniors safely through to the St Patrick's Day decider against Ard Scoil Ris or PBC (who clash at Musgrave Park on Sunday) the juniors were expecting a severe test from Castletroy and that's what they got. Indeed, there was every possibility of a shock outcome as the Limerick boys held a two point entering the final ten minutes.

Constant Christians pressure told in the end, however, and they deserved their place in the semi-finals. They will benefit from this outing and have some outstanding individuals in flankers Shane O'Sullivan, the captain, and Kevin Essex while Steve Holland was outstanding in the lineouts.
