Battling Bandon Grammar make history and now tackle favourites Presentation

Bandon Grammar School 17, St Munchin’s College 13: Bandon Grammar School created their own special piece of history on a wet and windy afternoon at Bandon RFC yesterday when they advanced to the Clayton Hotels Munster Senior Schools Cup semi-final for the first time.

The prize for a thoroughly deserved victory over St Munchin’s College was a place in the last four against tournament favourites Presentation Brothers College, but Bandon will take heart from the outstanding achievement of Ard Scoil Rís who dumped holders CBC out of the competition.

They can dare to dream and, on the basis of this win over more lauded opponents and a fine victory in round one over Castletroy College, they could well give the favourites a run for their money.
