Battle on for Munster Schools Cup glory as CBC defend title

The Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Cup campaign gets under way today with five fixtures running up until Thursday.

Glenstal Abbey take on St Clement’s at UL today, holders CBC Cork are in action tomorrow against old rivals Crescent and Rockwell play St Munchin’s while Ard Scoil Rís entertain PBC Cork. The first round will be completed on Thursday when Bandon Grammar take on Castletroy.

Five first-round winners go through to the quarter-finals, one lucky first-round loser will be chosen to receive a bye to the last eight, and four other losers will battle it out for two places in the business end of the competition.
