Polished Poland a matchwinner as powerful Pres advance to semi-finals

PBC booked their place in the semi-final of the Avonmore Milk Munster Schools’ Junior Cup with an excellent performance at Musgrave Park.

Things did not look well for the Cork College eight minutes before the break as, laying with the wind, they trailed 3-0 to a Peter Meyer penalty. However, Pres skipper Paul Kiernan lifted his side with a wonderful try, which David O’Sullivan converted.

Man of the match John Poland then made it 14-3 on the stroke of half-time with a superb try. Munchin’s had won a scrum against the head in their own 22, but indecision by the Limerick side was punished by Poland, who gathered the loose ball and raced under the posts for O’Sullivan to convert.
