Pack paves the way for Árd Scoil
Although neither side managed a try, this was a very enjoyable affair in which Árd Scoil Rís held the upper hand in the forward exchanges but had to display outstanding defensive qualities on a number of occasions to defy the best efforts of a speedy Crescent back division.
Árd Scoil got off to the best possible start when full-back Declan O’Rahilly kicked a fine penalty in the second minute. After that, though, it was all Crescent and they were foiled of at least two gilt-edged try scoring chances.
