The Senior team recorded a draw in the opening game of the All County
League Div 1 on Sunday at Fay Park. The score finished Abbey 2-9
Colmcille 0-15. There were some good passages of play in the first half
and Colmcille went in at the break with a 5 point lead. However Abbey
were awarded a dubious penalty early in the second half when an Abbey
forward was supposed to have been fouled 'in' the penalty box. With
Noel Farrell and Paul McKeon off injured, Abbey began to claw their way
back into the game and went a point ahead with a few minutes remaining
however Donie McKeon held his nerve to fire over a free from about 45
yards out to level the match. This was an open game and both will feel
they could have won it.
