Neil Lucey hails Ian Casey’s crucial role for CBC

One major hurdle behind them, Christian Brothers College, Cork will have more than a passing interest in today’s second Munster Schools Senior Cup semi-final at Thomond Park between Crescent Comprehensive and Castletroy College.

Breathing a big sigh of relief after overseeing a 13-12 victory over arch rivals Presentation Brothers College yesterday, CBC head coach Neil Lucey declared that nothing comes easy in this competition.

“It was typical Pres-Christians really, wasn’t it? There was always going to be just a score in it, not that good for the heart. I suppose we had a purple patch at the start of the second half but in fairness to Pres, they just don’t give up, they never do, they were there right to the final whistle.
