Christians survive Glenstal grilling

CBC CORK booked their place in the Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup final with a hard-fought victory over gutsy Glenstal at Clanwilliam yesterday.

The Cork side go in search of a 28th title when they meet cup rookies Castletroy College in Limerick on St Patrick’s Day, but will have to up their game after struggling to cope with Glenstal’s vigorous challenge.

Christians sealed the win by scoring two high-quality tries, one of them in the first half when they faced into a ferocious wind, but they were never comfortable in the face of Glenstal’s persistence.
