U11s travel to Ballyragget.
St Martin’s U11s were one of 24 teams who took part in the St Patrick’s tournament. In a great first match we performed very well against O Loughlin’s and led all the way but a spirited comeback from the town team saw the sides finish level at full time. Our performance dipped in the 2nd match and we were thoroughly out played by St Lachtains.
Our final match was against a strong Athenry team from Galway. In a great match the lads put in a much improved display and fought gallantly to the end but came up short.
A great days hurling was had by all and credit must go to St Patricks for the organisation they put into the day.
