Christians bid for centenary glory by rolling over Rock

ONE hundred years after lifting the inaugural Munster Schools Senior Cup, Christian Brothers College, Cork could bring perfect symmetry to the record books if they prevail in tomorrow’s final, sponsored by Avonmore Milk, at Musgrave Park (3pm).

Standing in CBC’s way of annexing the centenary title, and inscribing their name on the famous trophy for a record 28th time, is Rockwell College.

The celebrated Tipperary rugby nursery is, along with CBC and PBC, one of the traditional powerhouses of the province’s premier schools competition with 23 titles to its name. The Rock’s previous success came in 2001 in a team that included Denis Fogarty, Mark Melbourne and Gerry Hurley.
