MUNSTER JUNIOR CUP: Presentation Brothers Cork enjoyed a huge territorial advantage in yesterday's Munster Schools Junior Cup semi-final at Thomond Park but in the end lost to the holders, Ard Scoil Rís, who will meet CBC in the final.

The Cork side went ahead with a try by prop Chris O'Donovan after three minutes but were rocked shortly afterwards when Ard Scoil had a try by captain David Toomey, which was converted by Declan O'Rahily.

PBC dominated from there to the interval but managed only a penalty by their captain, Scott Deasy, with the last kick of the half.

The only score of the second half was the decisive try for Ard Scoil, by second-row forward Gerard Leyden.

ARD SCOIL RIS: D O'Rahily; P Gleeson, S Donohoe, C Finnegan, S Lipper; C Quinn, M Rowley; D Kilcoyne, J Byrne, J Burton, G Leyden, V Manning, B Sheehan, J Keogh, D Twomey (capt). Replacements: D Lynch and J Noonan for Quinn and Manning (half-time).

PBC: S Guerin; S Quinlan, S Deasy (capt), T Cullinane, J O'Sullivan; B Kelleher, A Rose; C O'Donovan, R Corkery, P Ryan, D Tuohy, M Kenefick, D O'Hara, N Barry, D O'Driscoll.
