C.B.C. 20 Ard Scoil Ris 10.
Christians had to dig deep to see off the challenge of an excellent Ard Scoil Ris at Rathcooney.
The game which only got the green light to go ahead ten minutes before the kick off was played in extremely difficult conditions and both sides must be complemented for providing an exciting tie with the result in doubt until the final minutes.
Playing with the elements in the opening half Cork College made a great start when their pack laid siege to the visitors line and were rewarded with a try after four minutes when Rob ODowling touched down.
Indeed it was Ard Scoil Ris who took the game to the Sydney Hill College, but despite their territorial advantage they never threatened to score.
A long clearance by Christians out half David ORiordan, saw Evan OCallaghans fly kick attempt being caught by John McCarthy and the winger raced away to score his sides second try.
Four minutes before the break a sweeping backline movement saw winger Adam McCarthy out pace the defence to score under the posts for a 15-0 lead.
The Limerick side took control from the restart and a great foot rush involving Ciaran Power saw scrum half Colin Noonan touch down under the posts after five minutes and Luke McGrath converted.
McGrath closed the gap to five points with a penalty shortly after.
Despite constant pressure by the Limerick side, the Christians defence held firm and a great clearance by full back Niall Griffin lifted the siege with five minutes remaining. The Cork side worked the ball into the Ard Scoil Ris Twenty Two and prop Rory Burke broke away to score a fourth try for the winners.
