Crescent bid for vengeance against CBC

Both Crescent Comprehensive and Christian Brothers College Cork, who meet in today’s Munster Schools Senior Cup semi-final at Clifford Park (3pm), have special reasons for wanting to make it to the final.

Not only does it present an opportunity to further claims to the trophy but, for Crescent, it offers the chance of revenge and, for Christians, the prospect of a Musgrave Park final.

Crescent lost to holders Rockwell in the opening round (5-15) and the Tipperary college now await the winners of today’s game in the final. Clearly, Crescent put that defeat behind them when they came to Cork and overcame PBC (18-12) in the quarter-final.
