Clinical Pres too good for brave Ard Scoil

PRESENTATION Brothers, Cork were ultimately comfortable winners over Ard Scoil Rís at Musgrave Park, Cork yesterday — but not before they were made to dig deep by a team who won their place in the last eight through the back door system.

With the benefit of a 3-0 lead established with an Alan Dempsey penalty in the 10th minute, Ard Scoil were certainly never found wanting as they set about providing a tough challenge to the reigning champions.

The Limerick side dominated the first-half line outs and they were never afraid to move possession wide by using the skill of full back Rory Collins to give speedy winger Kevin Phelan space out wide.
