Glenstal power sees off Bandon

Bandon Grammar School 7 Glenstal Abbey 26: Last year’s beaten finalists Glenstal Abbey remain on course for another appearance in the decider after a deserved Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Senior Cup quarter-final victory over gutsy Bandon Grammar School at the Mardyke yesterday.

The prize for victory is a semi-final confrontation with Limerick rivals Crescent Comprehensive, who earlier in the week saw off the challenge from Rockwell.

With many of their number in the first year of a senior cycle, it was understandable that Bandon, who did very well to beat St Munchin’s in round one, would find this type of challenge a bigger struggle and so it was, despite a decent display against the odds.
