Classy Pres power past Munchin’s

THIS Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup semi final replay at the Mardyke yesterday was a contest for a long time, but ultimately Presentation Brothers College Cork powered their way through to a St Patrick’s Day final confrontation against Rockwell College on the back of a classy second half display.

Whatever doubts the Cork supporters had shortly before half time – when they led 5-3 – were dispelled when Presentation scored an injury time try and then went on to pull away for the easiest of victories against a shell-shocked Munchin’s.

The Limerick side had come through the back door system after losing a first round to finalists Rockwell, and on Sunday they gave as good as they got to force Pres to dig deep to secure a 10-10 draw in Limerick.
