Christians pass stern test from Glenstal
Glenstal Abbey threw down the gauntlet to their more experienced rivals from Cork with a hugely positive first-half display that helped secure a 10-7 half-time lead, and they were right in the match until the dying moments before Christians struck with a third try to secure a quarter-final place against arch-rivals PBC.
Christians coach Russell Foley admitted it was a tough afternoon for his charges, saying: “Glenstal were as hard as we thought they would be; the school, at both senior and junior, have been knocking on the door for the past couple of years, they were very physical and our guys learned a lesson that if you don’t start well, you make it hard on yourself to win.
