Stunning Crescent comeback against CBC send Munster semi-final to replay
A STUNNING CRESCENT College comeback kept their Munster Schools Senior Cup title defence alive with two tries in the final three minutes securing a semi-final replay at Thomond Park next week.
A clever tap-and-go set play from five metres out sent Cathal Lanigan Ryan over the line with the game clock approaching the 70th minute. That may well feel like another away match for Christians, with no organised student section of supporters permitted at Musgrave Park following their conduct in their victory over Pres last month.
But each time Christians found the response. They disrupted the Crescent line-out, with Sam Loftus twice turning over Crescent mauls, once ripping the ball out and then pouncing to force the next advance to the ground. With Christians growing into the game, Michael Doyle and Foy claimed line-outs to put them into the opposition 22 for the first time. From the latter take, they mauled over, with Adam Wrona touching down. A two-try replacement against Pres, the hooker made it three in two games.
