There were one point wins for PBC and Ard Scoil Ris in the Bowen Shield as only two sides have recorded back to back wins.
PBC recorded a dramatic 22-21 victory over arch rivals CBC at Lansdowne. With the game entering injury time and Pres’ leading 15-14, CBC laid siege to the Pres’ line and eventually Thomas Quinlan managed to get in at the corner for a try which Mickey Fielding converted.
Back came Pres’ from the restart and they were awarded a penalty on the CBC Twenty Two but opted to run the ball and Jerry Roche touched down and Conor Flanagan converted to give Pres’ the points. 
Pres’ led 15-11 at half time with tries from Roche and David St. Ledger and Flanagan added a conversion and a drop goal. C.B.C. replied with two penalties from Quinlan and a try. Quinlan closed the gap to two points with his third penalty and then came the dramatic finish.

Ard Scoil Ris made it two wins from two with a 21-20 home win over St. Munchin’s. Ciaran Cusack and Robert Deegan scored tries for Ard Scoil Ris and Deegan kicked three penalties and a conversion.
