Christians held by Crescent in thriller

CBC Cork 16 Crescent CC Limerick 16: A magnificent Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Junior Cup final between two quality teams ended in a draw at Musgrave Park yesterday and the schools will meet again on April 6 at Thomond Park to settle the issue.

For the fans yesterday, there were plenty of thrills and spills, but for the respective coaches it was palpitation country as neither side yielded an inch and kept faith with respective plans to play with width and intensity.

In short, it was a game neither side deserved to lose. Christians coach Tom Crowe was delighted with his side’s performance and pleased enough with the outcome: “It was tit for tat, score for score, nailbiting right to the end, the draw was a fair result, we’re looking forward to the replay in Limerick.”
