Abbey Progress To Quarter Finals

Sun 20th Nov 2011

Abbey CBS had local rivals St. Colmans to thank yesterday, as their victory over St. Pats Maghera meant that Abbey have secured a coveted quarter-final place. Earlier in the week, it looked certain that Jody Gormley's men would be facing the tricky prospect of a play-off. After a very strong start to the campaign, back-to-back defeats from Maghera and St. Marys left Abbey almost certain of finishing in the bottom 2. With St. Colmans and Abbey now on 4 points each and through to the quarter finals, and Maghera confined to a play off, the winners of the group has still to be decided as Omagh and St. Marys have yet to play. Defeat for St. Marys means that they will face a play-off, but on the other hand a win would see them top the group and advance to the Mc Cormack final.
