Crescent get fright as battling Glenstal run them close

Crescent Comprehensive 10 Glenstal Abbey 9

This was certainly a wake-up call for Crescent who were driven on to the back foot in the opening 20 minutes by the speed and outstanding support play of the Glenstal pack and a clever back division fully capable of putting the brisk wind at their backs to the most fruitful use.

At this point, no one was doing better than the diminutive but hugely effective Glen hooker Paul Coghlan, and Kevin O’Callaghan, who was dominating the line-outs.
