Abbey will make it tough for fancied Pat’s

ULSTER champions Abbey CBS (Down) are at full strength for Monday’s All-Ireland Colleges SFC A final against St Pats (Navan) in Dr Cullen Park, Carlow.

Down minor captain Seamus Grant, who missed their All-Ireland semi-final win over DLS Macroom because of an appendix operation, returns for the Newry College’s first decider.

Team coach Jody Gormley accepts that the Leinster champions, who are chasing their fourth title in six years, are clear favourites.
