FC, Gormanston ... 1-7 Coláiste Eoin ... 0-7:This tie at Silverpark yesterday was played at fever-pitch, with Gormanston - for the second time in as many games - coming out on top against Dublin opposition.
Up until the time Ruairí Moore netted the only goal of the game, on 49 minutes, there was little between the sides. After the goal, however, the visitors never looked like surrendering their place in the last four.
Gormanston led at the interval, 0-5 to 0-3, but Coláiste Eoin upped their game after the break and, with 12 minutes remaining, a Marc Schutte point squared the game.
However, Moore soon killed off the tie, shooting to the net for Gormanston from the right.
