Murray stars as Castletroy stun Pres

CASTLETROY College enjoyed the biggest day in their seven-year history at Thomond Park yesterday when they defeated Presentation College Cork by 5-3 in the Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Junior Cup.

Castletroy’s delight was understandable given that they are still a fledgling academy, whereas Pres is one of the most famous rugby schools in the country and captured this title first in 1933, a year after its inauguration.

The Limerick side is now into the semi-finals, whereas Pres still have a game to play that will keep their interest alive if they are successful.
