Pres pushed hard by Rockwell

PRESENTATION Brothers College, Cork kept the form book intact when they advanced to the Avonmore Munster Schools Junior Cup semi-final at the CIT grounds in Cork yesterday.

PBC deserved their win but Rockwell College still managed to maintain a healthy interest in the encounter until the closing stages when Pres crossed for the only try.

The heavy pitch and strong cross wind hardly provided the right ingredients for a classic. But they did their best and, if nothing else, it was a pretty absorbing encounter. Pres has the better of the territorial battle, helped in no small measure by their stronger forward unit, but Rockwell fought them all the way.
