Christian Brothers College Cork 48Ardscoil R\u00eds 12<\/p>\n
Denis Hurley reports from Musgrave Park<\/em><\/p>\n A STRONG START stood to Christian Brothers College Cork as they advanced to the final of the Clayton Hotels Munster Schools Senior Cup final with a seven-try victory over Limerick\u2019s Ardscoil R\u00eds at Musgrave Park on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n The city school, level at the top of the roll of honour with rivals Pres on 29 Senior Cups apiece, had two tries scored inside the opening six minutes, with Harry O\u2019Riordan benefiting from Cian Hurley\u2019s lovely pass for the opener before number eight Hurley touched down minutes later. The latter was converted by Billy Cian for a 12-0 lead.<\/p>\n O\u2019Riordan\u2019s second try, again converted, had them comfortable and, though Daniel Okeke had Ardscoil off the mark following a nice set-piece, Aaron Leahy replied for CBC to give them a commanding 24-5 lead approaching half-time. <\/p>\n While Alex Long got a second Ardscoil try and John Moloney converted before the whistle, Cain ensured that CBC led by 19 points \u2014 31-12 \u2014 at the break as he scored the Cork school\u2019s fifth try and added the extras.<\/p>\n Killian Coughlan on the charge for the Cork school.
