Christians to stand firm

CRESCENT COMPREHENSIVE bid to turn the clock back almost two decades when they contest today’s Avonmore Munster Schools Junior Cup final at Musgrave Park.

But their bid to win the trophy for the first time since 1991 will be a tough one, as Christian Brothers College, Cork are firm favourites to win their first title since 2006.

The Cork school have impressed with clear-cut victories in the earlier rounds, leading to a semi-final when their mettle was severely tested by Ard Scoil Rís.
