PBC hold off St Munchin's comeback to win Munster semi-final thriller | StphnBarry
ANOTHER INCREDIBLE MUNSTER Schools Senior Cup comeback this time fell just short as Ben O’Connor came up with the tryline turnover to complement his 15-point haul and send Pres into the final.Dual star O’Connor, an All-Ireland-winning hurler, scored a try and kicked five conversions in the first half before St Munchin’s ran in three unanswered second-half tries to narrow a deficit that once stood at 25 back to six.
Munchin’s were the only undefeated side left in the competition but they got off to a disastrous start. What a try from Matthew Te Pou!@stmunchins v @pbcrugby live now on @ExaminerSport https://t.co/3H60aXptQ0@Pinergy | @Munsterrugby | pic.twitter.com/rzEpwQNy5wJames O’Leary had been involved in the first two Pres tries but the third was all his own. Coughlan’s 50-22 kick gave them territory and possession. Munchin’s collapsed the line-out maul but O’Leary combined with his centre partner O’Leary Kareem to cross. Ben O’Connor converted again.
The first was a brilliant Fionn Roussel finish, a hand-off, step, and dummy pass to beat three defenders to score. Then, O’Leary Kareem sent Ben O’Connor storming into space for another set-piece try from distance. O’Connor converted both for a 35-10 half-time lead.
