Christians out-half Eoin Monahan hit the post with a penalty that would have seen the epic clash end in a draw until Adam O’Connor pounced for the winning try after eight additional minutes.

Holders Pres were devasted by the manner of the defeat, with CBS into the final against Glenstal Abbey on Sunday week.
