The game was played in some blustery condition in Bandon RFC

Bandon Grammar school secure their spot in this year’s quarter final’s of the Munster Senior Cup with a 7-5 win over St. Munchins College in Bandon RFC yesterday.

In a tight encounter throughout, Bandon began mounting pressure early doors but couldn’t capitalise missing an early shot at goal.

Munchins then began to gather their own momentum but inside centre Jazz Pendejit couldn’t convert it into points after a missed penalty.

More pressure ensued from the home side and they were eventually rewarded when centre Victor Lovell sliced through the defence to get over which scrum half Jack Crowley converted. 7-0 at half time.

Whilst the away side did have the better of the chances in the second half, they could only muster up one score from prop Evan Sheehan which Pendejit couldn’t convert meaning the Cork school made it three successive wins in a row over their Corbally opposition in the Senior Cup.

BANDON GRAMMAR SCHOOL: Soren Minihane (Bobby Ahern 58); Seán Madden, Victor Lovell, Bruce Matthews, Harry Hall (Tom Beare half-time); Rowan Palmer (Ciarán Roberts 61), Jack Crowley; Conor Heaney (David Ogden 45), Alex O’Connor, Ashley Deane; Nico Bakker, Josh Brady, Michael Archer (Paul Jackson 53), Niall Beamish, John Beamish.
