Skipper Russell’s late try gives Crescent victory over Christians in cracking decider

AN intense struggle ended in victory for Crescent Comprehensive in yesterday’s exciting Kidney Cup final held at Lansdowne.

In the end, Crescent came away with the trophy courtesy of a late try from skipper Lorcan Russell.

While Darragh Muldoon, David Parfrey and PJ O’Sullivan-Green were the pick of the Christians pack and both Jason Higgins and Oisin McSweeney produced assured displays behind the scrum, the home side couldn’t win enough quality possession to keep their challenge alive going into the closing stages.
