Abbey VS lose out in All-Ireland soccer semi-final



It wasn’t to be for Abbey Vocational School this afternoon after they were knocked out of the Tom Ticher FAI Junior Schools Cup at the semi-final stage.

They went down 4-0 to Rice College of Westport in Ray MacSharry Park this afternoon.

Goals from Rian Durkan, Simeon Popot and a double from Jack O’Malley saw the Mayo side progress into the final.

The result brings Abbey’s remarkable run to an end, as they lifted the Ulster title with a 1-0 over Loretto College Milford a week ago.

On Thursday, Scoil Mhuire Buncrana have the chance to seal their place in the Dr Tony O’Neill Senior National Cup semi-final against St Gerald’s Castlebar, which will also be played in Ray MacSharry Park in Sligo.
