LIMERICK CBS' quest for an historic hat-trick of All-Ireland Senior Schools Soccer Cup titles continues tomorrow at Leah Victoria Park in Tullamore.
The five-in-a-row Munster champions face Tallaght Community School in the semi-finals of the National Cup.
Earlier this month Mike Molyneaux's all-conquering side claimed provincial honours with an Eoin Hanrahan goal helping the Sexton Street secondary school to a one-nil win over Cobh Community School.
Along with the Pike Rovers star, who is Limerick CBS captain, another central figure is Jason Hughes of Limerick FC.
Last weekend the duo were members of the Irish under-18 FAI Schoolboys squad that faced Northern Ireland in Ballymoney.
One international game remains in the Carnegie Centenary Shield for the CBS pair and fellow Limerick man Ian Storan when Ireland will play England at the RSC, Waterford on April 24 in a game which will be live on Sky Sports.
Hughes, Hanrahan and defender Craig McMarlow were all members of Limerick CBS' Munster and All-Ireland winning side in 2008.
