THERE are some interesting fixtures next week in round two of the Pinenergy Munster Schools’ Boys Senior Cup.
Among the highlights is the quarter-final eliminator between fierce rivals Ardscoil Rís and St Munchin’s College at Thomond Park on Wednesday (2pm).
Some quality tries from Ryan Angley (2), Oisín Madden, Gearóid O’Brien, and Darragh Dillon were key in the recent advancement of Munchin’s over newcomers Hamilton High School.
In other upcoming fixtures, Castletroy College face CBC at Virgin Park (2.30pm) on Monday and Crescent College run up against PBC at the same venue on Tuesday (2pm).
Bandon Grammar School were easy winners over Glenstal Abbey in round one.
For over a century, the Cup has been a cornerstone of Munster Rugby, fostering exceptional talent and fierce rivalries. This historic competition has served as the starting point for countless legends, including our own nowadays coffee king Keith Earls (of Eleven14 Coffee Roasters, Annacotty Business Park).
Brendan Foley, president of Munster Rugby, commented: “The boys’ and girls’ schools competitions are more than just a tournament; they embody the growth of the game and the introduction of future stars, and we’re excited to see what this season holds.”
