Bandon Grammar School face tough Rockwell test in Munster Schools Senior Cup

Reigning champions Rockwell have been drawn to meet Bandon Grammar School in the first round of the Munster Schools Senior Cup in January. 

After enjoying considerable success in recent seasons, Bandon have been promoted as an A school but will hardly be overjoyed at coming out of the hat against one of the competition’s traditional power houses and who have captured the title in three of the last six years.

The draw was made in Thomond Park last night by Munster Branch President Bertie Smith and Tony Smith, Chairman of the Munster Schools Branch who revealed that for the first time the opening rounds of the senior and junior cups will involve the same two schools and will be played on the same days and venues on January 19, 20 and 21.
