Good display Bad result
Saint Martins and James Stephens put on good game for the big attendance in Freshford.In a well contested game a goal in the first half gave the City side a lead at half -time 1-9 to 0-11 not a true reflection of Martins play who put in some great hurling.The second half never reached the heights of the first half scoring wise and Martins lost out by one point.Final Score 1-16 to 1-15 (All frees scored J S 0-12 S M 0-5)
