Pres set for battle royal with arch rivals

THEIR performance was not as convincing as the scoreline suggests but PBC’s victory over Crescent College in yesterday’s Avonmore Munster schools senior cup quarter-final was everything Cork fans could have hoped for as it set up a mouth-watering semi-final clash with arch rivals, CBC.

The win was fashioned around a second-half try by second Cian Bohane that had the hallmark of sheer brilliance and came in a rare second-half incursion into the Crescent half of the field as Pres spent most of the 35 minutes entrenched between their own 25 and the half way line.

To make it all the sweeter Crescent were on the offensive when the Pres fly-half, Kevin Kidney, emerged from the back of the ruck, dummied Crescent to the left and then passed the ball to the right and into the welcoming hands of hands of Bohane who launched his lone crusade.
