Thu 03 Mar 2007Courtney strikes lateSchools Rugby Munster Senior Cup CBC 13-8 St Munchin'sNiall Courtney's injury-time try gave Christian Brothers College Cork a dramatic victory over champions St Munchin's in a terrific Munster Schools Senior Cup semi-final at Temple Hill yesterday.A replay seemed imminent after Craig O'Hanlon finished off a classy St Munchin's try on 65 minutes to level affairs, but wonderful driving by the Christians' forwards in working the ball deep into enemy territory and followed quickly by swift handling from the backs, resulted in an equally breathtaking try worthy of winning any cup match.
