Christians hold off St Munchin’s’ late show

St Munchin’s 7 - CBC 10

CBC centre Fergal Conway will remember yesterday’s Junior Cup quarter-final for a long time. He cut through for a brilliant try in the 51st minute, converted by Billy Caine, to push the holders 10 points in front and seemingly sure of a semi-final place.

However, St Munchin’s had other ideas, and as they charged into the attack, Conway infringed in a desperate attempt to keep them at bay, and was yellow-carded by ref Richard Horgan. Munchin’s took a quick tap and opened the way for winger Kristan Lugod to score just inside the corner flag. Out-half Jazz Pendejito converted with a remarkable kick. Christians dominated possession from there to the finish to emerge relieved winners.
