PBC cruised to a 31-12 victory in their Pinergy Munster Schools Senior Cup quarter final clash against St Munchins in Musgrave Park. Stirred on by a roaring crowd, Pres started at a breakneck speed, marching down the field within 5 minutes and scoring under the posts from short range, through Ben O’Connor, who converted his try. Just minutes later Sean Condon dotted down in the corner after some slick attacking play and O’Connor extended the lead to 14-0 through an excellent conversion. At just the 10 minute mark, this game was threatening to become a hammering. The game went scoreless for around 20 minutes until Condon was put through 1 on 1 on the wing from a Pres scrum and easily evaded his defender to whip the already loud support into a frenzy. From the ensuing restart a Munchin’s player was shown a yellow card for taking a man out in the air. Pres went in to half-time 21-0 and were well worth their lead. The try-scoring didn’t stop either as just a minute after the start of the second half O’Connor released the opposite wing Adam Twomey into the corner to make it 26-0, taking full advantage of Munchins being a man down. However, once restored to 15 men, Munchins began to slowly eat away at the large PBC lead, further helped by a yellow card against Pres for a late hit. After two Munchins tries the score stood at 26-12, and the previously frenzied crowd seemed to noticeably lull, fearing an improbable comeback. But after Fionn Roussell barrelled over with around 10 minutes left in what proved to be the final score of the game, Pres put the contest out of reach and put to an end any miraculous comeback from Munchin’s spirited fight back. This result sets up a tense, highly anticipated semi-final against CBC, a game in which both teams will be able to book their ticket to the final and get one step closer to the trophy.

To all of the Pres Community, On behalf of the Board of Management, staff and pupils we want to take this opportunity to extend our condolences to the Kiernan family on the passing of Tom Kiernan. A past pupil of such distinction that his legacy of excellence continues to be acknowledged by our pupils everyday as they pass into school passing the Honours Board and the B & I Lions archive. Tom was a winner of both the Junior and Senior Cups with Pres during his time in the school. His family continued to represent the school through his own children and grandchildren. He was there with his family in the school hall only a few years ago presenting his grandson with his Senior Cup jersey. Tom also had to most distinguished of rugby careers when leaving Pres going on to win Munster Senior Cup with Cork Con, representing Munster, Ireland and the B & I Lions and having the honour of captaining all of these teams. After finishing playing his skills and knowledge made him a successful coach of Munster and Ireland. In terms of modern professional rugby he was at the centre of developing the professional structures that exist today. As a community we thank Tom for all of the memories that he has given the Pres community both at home and abroad. David Barry Secretary Board of Management
