Ardscoíl Rís 20 PBC Cork 10:A late try by Ardscoil Rís skipper Jerry McCabe killed off PBC at Clifford Park. The Limerick side led 13-0 at halftime and looked to be cruising.

But with 10 minutes remaining their lead was reduced to 13-10 after the Cork side got in for a brace of tries.

And it could have been different with a bit of luck for the visitors when an attempted clearance by Ardscoil was blocked. But McCabe spared his side’s blushes with a late try, which Conor Fitzgerald converted.
