Pres’ made some substitutions at half time and came storming back into the contest. They bombarded the Ardscoil line. Sean Lucey knocked on short of the line and their pressure was rewarded when lock Brian O'Mahony got in for a try after eight minutes.
Pres’ were back in the Ardscoil Twenty Two from the restart and from a line out Fiachra Kelleher barged over for a try.
Peter Sylvester looked like he had scored a third try for Pres’ when he collected a delightful chip ahead but was prevented from grounding the ball.
Ardscoil showed great determination to hold on to their lead a lovely break by winger Michael Fitzgibbon lifted the siege as he made a surging run before being stopped in the Pres’ half.
