Crescent’s Cup ambitions hit by Burke’s absence

The talented Munster and Ireland Schools out-half has not yet recovered from an ankle injury sustained before Christmas and, according to coach Dudley Herbert, Burke’s absence is considered “a huge blow” for the would-be favourites.

Come Saturday evening the quarter-finals will be decided and four teams will be left kicking their heels for the remainder of the season. With this in mind, discussions are already in place to re-jig the Senior Cup next season.
