GUEST SPEAKERS

John and Tony McEntee

We are honoured today by the return to their Alma Mater of two of our most famous sporting past pupils – John and Tony McEntee – now more commonly known throughout Ireland as ‘The Twins’.

We enjoyed their tremendous successes last year in winning Armagh’s first All-Ireland Senior football Title and the whole Abbey Community joins today in wishing them the very best of fortune in their attempt to win an historic double on Sunday 28th September in Croke Park.
