Sean French fires PBC past Glenstal Abbey for 29th crown

PBC 11 Glenstal Abbey 3: Not even the torrential rain and the strong, cold and swirling wind at Thomond Park yesterday could dampen the delight of Presentation Brothers Cork as they defeated Glenstal Abbey by 11-3 to capture the Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Senior Cup for the 29th time.

In doing so, they joined Cork neighbours CBC at the top of the honours list and bridged a seven-year gap since the trophy graced the Western Road sideboard.

It was a great pity the weather ruined the game as a spectacle because the teams came to play an expansive game having both looked fully capable of doing so successfully in the previous rounds.
