Glenstal won’t be overawed in quest for first crown against CBC

Glenstal Abbey head coach Sean Skehan is optimistic the school can finally break their duck in the Clayton Hotels Munster Schools’ Senior Cup when they meet CBC Cork in tomorrow’s decider at Musgrave Park (4pm).

Glenstal have been worthy opponents for the leading schools over many decades but have nothing by way of silverware to show for their efforts. Two final appearances was as good as it got in their bid to etch the school name on this prized trophy.

Over the years, they have had to play second fiddle to bigger schools like Cork giants CBC and PBC, as well as Rockwell and to a lesser extent Crescent and St Munchin’s.
