Munster Schools Junior Cup Final; PBC 11 Castleroy College 3:Presentation Brothers, Cork, won the Avonmore Milk Munster title for the 27th time with a hard-earned win against Castletroy College, Limerick, at Dooradoyle yesterday to add to their senior success.
Making their first appearance in the final, Castletroy hit the front with a penalty by Pádraig O'Connor.
But, after the outstanding full back Pat Deasy levelled with a penalty, PBC's forward dominance was evident when they drove over for the only try of the game which was credited to prop Ian Mullarkey.
Played in constant rain, the second half yielded just one score - from a penalty by Deasy.
