Crescent condemn Christians to the scenic route

CRESCENT Comprehensive got their Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup campaign off to the perfect start with a deserving 6-3 victory over CBC Cork at Dooradoyle that sent the reigning champions away on the scenic route for the second successive year.

Crescent went into the campaign without nine of last year’s panel but they were confident of a big performance from their pack, and that confidence was realised as they confined CBC to their own half of the field for almost the entire second half.

With the Christians pack offering stiff resistance it was never going to be a free scoring or free running game and inevitably it was the kicking that would decide the outcome.
