Aquinas secured a 2-11 to 2-10 win over a young talented St Joseph’s Crossmaglen
Team in their opening game in the Ulster Colleges Bro Nolan senior C competition at the college pitches in Armagh. 
During the game Aquinas shot 20 scoreable wides which nearly cost them victory.  A small Crossmaglen team who played a short, fast passing game caused Aquinas many problems.  However, with steady performances from Thomas Artherton, Dermot Dignam, Conal Mahon O’Neill and captain John Mckenna.  Aquinas steered to a narrow victory.

Aquinas 4-8 Edmund Rice 1-6
Aquinas Grammar faced a determined Edmund Rice team who caused Aquinas lots of problems with their physicality.  Not until the last 15 minutes did Aquinas finally get on top of Edmund Rice.
Conal Mahon O’Neil, Dermot Dignam Matthew Hollywood and John McKenna were very strong for Aquinas.  Star of the game was Darragh Brownlee who turned in a McCrory standard performance.

After this win Aquinas will meet either St Malachys, Belfast, Lumen Christi, Derry or Glen Road CBS in the semi-final.

Aquinas will be training on the county Down sand dunes over the Christmas period.  Good Luck lads.
