Skilful Glenstal Abbey charge past Crescent Comp

Glenstal Abbey 30 Crescent Comprehensive 10

Determined never to allow such a gap to develop again, the Limerick school prepared for this season’s campaign with vigour and duly had their reward at Markets Field yesterday when they decisively defeated Crescent Comprehensive and qualified for the March 18 decider against the winners of Thursday’s second semi-final between holders PBC and CBC.

Glenstal will be outsiders no matter which of the Cork giants provides the Musgrave Park opposition. However, they demonstrated in this unexpected but comprehensive defeat of Crescent that they are a superbly well-coached and skilful side adept at moving the ball wide whenever the opportunity arises.
