P.B.C. kept their challenge alive with a 35-25 home victory over Castletroy College at Wilton.
In a game that produced nine tries the scoreline flattered the Cork side as Castletroy College’s never say die attitude saw them rally in the final minutes of the game but time ran out on them.
The home side opened the scoring with a penalty from Mark O’Callaghan but the visitors hit back with out half Conor Burns scoring a penalty, try and conversion for a 10-3 lead.
Scrum half Tommy Duggan and Gavin O’Callaghan scored tries for Pres’ late in the opening half but a Burns penalty tied up the scores on the stroke of half time.
Pres’ hit a purple patch in the third quarter scoring three tries from Matthew Curtin, Ryan Callanan and Peter O’Brien to lead 30-13 with Mark O’Callaghan adding a conversion.
Mark O’Callaghan extended the lead with a try five minutes from time but a late rally by Castletroy yielded tries from Eoghan Clancy and Dave Grant, one of which Burns converted.
