St Munchin’s and Pres renew semi-final battle at the Mardyke

ST MUNCHIN’S COLLEGE have come a long way since losing to Rockwell in the opening round of the Avonmore Munster Schools Cup. After being subjected to a hiding by a team that has now reached the decider, the Limerick side are on the cusp of joining them in the St Patrick’s Day showpiece.

They recovered, through the back door, from that defeat by Rockwell to oust one of the tournament favourites Crescent Comprehensive, before going on to trouble PBC Cork in Sunday’s semi-final at Clifford Park.

The end result of a rousing contest was a 10-10 draw and that has led to this afternoon’s replay at the Mardyke in Cork (3pm).
