Holders CBC find rhythm to see off brave Bandon

In the end it was a bridge too far for Bandon Grammar School, but they still made advancing to another Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Junior Cup final a difficult process for specialists Christian Brothers College Cork at Temple Hill yesterday.

The holders had most of the territory and created the majority of scoring chances too, but they were limited by a dogged Bandon side that was both organised in defence and, when the occasional opportunity arose, quite inventive in what they tried to achieve.

Nevertheless, this was a deserved triumph for the holders, who go through to the decider against St Munchin’s courtesy of three second-half tries.
