Roscrea’s firepower key to overcoming Bray’s challenge

Leinster Schools: Cistercian College Roscrea 24 Presentation College Bray 16

An attacking edge proved essential in Donnybrook yesterday for Cistercian College, Roscrea, who held off Presentation College, Bray’s strong challenge to book their place in the Leinster Schools’ Junior Cup semi-final.

Pres Bray opened the scoring with a superb 13th-minute penalty by scrum-half Elliott Ryan, but thanks to well-worked converted tries by forward duo James Corcoran and Kevin Fitzgerald, Roscrea developed a 14-3 interval lead.
