CBC Cork complete task in second half

Munster Schools' Junior Cup/ CBC Cork 15 Rockwell College 0 : A try in either half helped CBC reach the semi-finals of the Munster Schools' Junior Cup following a deserved win over Rockwell College at Musgrave Park yesterday.

After fullback Darragh McNamara kicked a fine penalty in the fourth minute CBC Cork crossed for their first try in the 20th minute when left wing Michael Ryan scored his third of the tournament for an 8-0 lead.

Backed by the wind in the second half the Cork side put the tie beyond doubt with a second try from number eight Dylan Stokes after 40 minutes, converted by McNamara, to complete the scoring.
