Munchin’s braced for tough test against improving Rockwell

ST MUNCHIN’S, with wins over a highly-rated CBC and Ard Scoil Ris, are favourites to advance against Rockwell in today’s Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup semi-final at Clanwilliam Park (3pm).

Munchin’s braced for tough test against improving Rockwell

Munchin’s surprise 14-5 victory over Christians in Cork established them as dark horses for the title but Rockwell’s capacity to step up on previous displays was evident in their win over Glenstal and suggests they are capable of an upset this afternoon.

Munchin’s have captured the title on three occasions this decade, most recently in 2006. Skipper and number eight Ger Burke along with second row Mike Madden (who doubles as their place kicker) are key men in the pack while they boast a speedy, strong running back division in which full-back Jack Murray and wings Craig O’Hanlon and Conor Cunnane have impressed this season.
