Scoil Mhuire sunk by Salesian’s second-half brace in semi-final

A second half brace from Salesian College, Celbridge was enough to see off counterparts Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana in a hugely engaging encounter in Bailieborough Celtic AFC yesterday afternoon.

The Kildare outfit tested the inform Oran McBride on a number of occasions but with some heroics  from the versatile netminder, he kept his side in contention.

Lee Barr was unfortunate not to put the Ulster stars ahead as his free-kick on three minutes skimmed the crossbar. This was the only real threat on Liam O’Donovan’s goal in the opening period.

Salesian then tested McBride between the sticks as Fionan Brady’s set piece and Larry Johnson’s close range effort were saved well either side of the half hour mark.

The game remained goalless at the interval.

Salesian scholar Jamie Keane made the most of a defensive mix up to toe poke in from six yards out for the opener ten minutes into the restart.

The Celbridge lead was extended on 63 minutes when Captain Matthew Scott got ahead of the defensive line to slot home from close range.

Salesian’s will now await the winners of Presentation College, Athenry versus St. Francis College, Rochestown who are scheduled to meet in Aisling Annacotty, Limerick tomorrow (Thursday) at 1pm
