Powerful Pres pile on pressure

JOB done, Presentation Brothers College now prepare to defend their Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup title against favourites Rockwell at Musgrave Park on St Patrick’s Day.

Yesterday’s semi-final at Thomond Park yielded no surprises, although Pres had to shake off a strong challenge from a brave Crescent side.

Crescent earned respect however, with Sean Monaghan leading from the front and Jack Donovan, Jack Dinneen and Padric Ryan giving as good as they got, while Larry Hanley at out half and Diarmaid Dee always looked good outside.
