Roscrea hoping to finally beat the odds in Leinster Schools’ Senior Cup

Belvedere College v Cistercian College Roscrea Today: RDS, 4pm TV: Setanta Sports

Cistercian College Roscrea have never won the Leinster Schools’ Senior Cup but if they are to lose a fifth final they have proven this year it’s unlikely to be as a result of being burdened by the oppressive weight of history.

They’ve already needed to confront some old ghosts on their way to today’s contest. They lost the 1941 final to Newbridge College but knocked out the same school after a ferociously physical replayed semi-final.
