Rugby has been a resounding part of PBC's identity, it has created some sporting legends within in the school and has maintained a rich rivalry with fellow Cork schools and beyond. We go back as far as the 1930's here with Dan Cowhie taking us back to his time playing Junior Rugby and the Cagney Shield with Pres in the mid-1930s. Ever heard of the Golden-Half Mile on the Mardyke? Well, Moss Finn is the man for that story. Onto rugby rivalry, we jump forward to Pres’ Senior Cup win against Christians in 1952 with Kieran Clancy reminiscing on his time in the school and to greater rivals beyond Cork, Jimmy Bowen talks about the famous match against the All Blacks.

This podcast is presented by PBC alumni George Hook and Ronan McAuliffe. It was produced by PBC teacher Éanna O'Loinsigh with Elaine Smith on sound and post production and piano composition by PBC student Liam Ring. Thank you to our contributors for sharing the stories and fond memories and to Presentation Brothers College Cork for their continued support.
