Crescent Set Sights For Double

Crescent College Comprehensive will meet PBC in the final of the SEAT Munster Schools Junior Cup following a 25-7 win over Glenstal Abbey School today at Rosbrien.

Glenstal Abbey 7, Crescent College Comprehensive 25

Crescent College Comprehensive are through to their fourth SEAT Munster Schools Junior Cup final in five seasons after seeing off the challenge of Glenstal Abbey School in the semi final at Rosbrien.

Crescent never looked in danger in losing this game once they hit the front with a try from full back Brian Ring on fifteen minutes which he also converted.

The Dooradoyle side extended their advantage with a try from Kelvin Brosnahan on the stroke of half time for a 12-0 lead.

Glenstal got back in the game early in the second half with a try from Ben Moloney which Ben Healy converted.

That was as good it was to get for Glenstal as two tries from center Daniel Hurley and a penalty by Ring ensured Crescent will be facing P.B.C. in the decider on March 26th at a Cork venue.
