Martins lose
St Martins lost out to Ballyhale Shamrocks in the first round of the Senior hurling League. The game was played in sun drenched Nowlan Park with both sides short of some injured players. After a well contested opening half it looked like being a draw, but a late goal by the Shamrocks gave them a lead at the break 2-6 to 1-6. The second half was dominated for long periods by Martins who worked many goal chances and with minutes remaining the sides were level but is was Shamrocks who pulled away in added time to maintain their half-time advantage 2-12 to 1-12.

U-14s in Féile games.
Our Under 14 hurling team took part in the Féile games at the weekend at Palmerstown. They played 3 games in all putting up a good display in each. Unfortunately Dicksboro and Conahy proved too strong on this occasion but they drew with Slieve Rue after trailing for most of this game. Well done to all. Training continues in preparation for the up coming games next weekend.
