Castletroy look to pack to shake off Crescent in derby clash

The second of the Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Senior Cup semi finals takes place at Thomond Park this afternoon (2.30pm) with Limerick rivals Crescent Comprehensive and Castletroy College in action.

Castletroy coach Richie Feeney acknowledged his side’s strengths are in a big pack but still expects a difficult afternoon against a slick Crescent outfit.

Castletroy beat Crescent in Munster Schools Junior Cup and Bowen Shield competitions over the past three years but Feeney insisted they were hard earned victories. “There was just the bounce of a ball between us, they were both one score games so we wouldn’t read much into that.
