Powerful PBC ease past Ard Scoil Rís

FAVOURITES Presentation Brothers College overcame the dogged resistance of Ard Scoil Rís to confidently move into the quarter finals of the Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup at Rosbrien yesterday.

It wasn’t always easy but the power and strength of the Pres pack ultimately proved decisive on a heavy pitch that certainly didn’t lend itself to expansive rugby.

On a day when, even in a dominant pack, heroes were at a premium, Pres No.8 Cathal O’Flaherty was the star and provided the inspiration for a crucial second-half try to finally put a bit of daylight between the sides.
