‘It wasn’t about competing; it was about winning’

Glenstal Abbey 18 - CBC Cork 17: The decades of heartbreak are over for Glenstal Abbey. Yesterday the Limerick side were crowned Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Senior Cup champions with a sensational one point victory over Christian Brothers College Cork at Musgrave Park.

Prior to the weekend finals held few fond memories for the Murroe school — they lost last year’s decider to PBC while their previous appearance, in 1970, ended with defeat to Rockwell.

But all that pain and anguish was washed away with this historic win, made all the sweeter when coming against a CBC side who were chasing a record-breaking 30th title.
