Slick Crescent champions again after stellar display

CRESCENT College Comprehensive recovered from an indifferent start to stamp their class on this Avonmore Munster Schools Junior Cup at Clifford Park yesterday.

This second successive victory — the first back to back titles in the history of the school — gave them their sixth trophy against local rivals seeking their third cup, and first since 2005.

Crescent’s victory was achieved on the basis of a powerful second-half display that involved both strong forward and skilful back play that ultimately proved too much for their opponents.
