For CBC captain Charlie O’Shea, the overwhelming feeling was relief after winning the Munster Schools Senior Cup at the third attempt.

O’Shea, his half-back partner Christopher Barrett, Alex O’Connell, and winning try-scorer Leo O’Leary had gone through three consecutive final defeats against PBC to get here: the 2022 Junior Cup followed by the ‘23 and ‘24 Senior Cups.
