Lawlor inspires Junior’s
On a cold, showery evening in Coon, St. Martin’s and Erins Own finished all square in the J.J Kavanagh & Son’s Junior Hurling League after a well contested battle between neighbours. It was Erins Own who excelled in the first half despite the best efforts of our backs with the excellent Aidan Lawlor and Mick Morrissey joining forces with Brian Cadigan, Aidan Murphy, Shane Egan and Paddy Dowling. With the score at half time of Erins Own 0-10 to St. Martin’s 0-4, our Juniors had a big mountain to climb in the second half. With Thomas Walsh and Ciaran Brennan feeding in the ball from mid-field, our forwards of Eugene Maher, Noel D’arcy, Kieran Kelly, Damien Tynan, Martin Dowling and John Haughney chipped away creating and taking scores. However, the breakthrough came when Paddy Dowling landed a high ball into the square with Damien Tynan flicking it passed Davy Buggy the Erins Own goalkeeper. With a minute left on the clock and one point between the sides, St. Martin’s were awarded a free which Kieran Kelly duely put over the bar to leave the final score St. Martin’s 1-10, Erins Own 0-13.
Team: Jason Shore, Brian Cadigan, Aidan Murphy, Shane Egan, Paddy Dowling, Aidan Lawlor, Mick Morrissey, Thomas Walsh, Ciaran Brennan, Eugene Maher, Noel D’arcy, Kieran Kelly, Damien Tynan, Martin Dowling, John Haughney.

Junior A’s suffer defeat
St. Martin’s played Lisdowney in the North Junior “A” League in Muckalee. On a lovely afternoon for hurling, St. Martin’s found it hard to get going and trailed at half time 0-10 to 1-5. The goal coming from a long range free from the excellent Jason Shore landing in the square and was tapped in by Damien Tynan on the stroke of half time. Things did not improve for the hard trying St. Martin’s in the second half. However, our backs did well to keep Lisdowney goal-less with loyal servants Martin Dowling, Aidan Lawlor and Nicholas Purcell joined by the youthful Shane Egan, Jack Dowling and Ruairí Kinsella. Thomas Walsh and Stephen Walsh battled hard in midfield while our forwards battled gamely against a solid Lisdowney defence. The hard trying Tom Morrissey and Shane Coonan making up the centre with Shane Kinsella, Damien Tynan, Eugene Maher and James Kelly on the wings. When introduced, John Haughney and David Walsh tried hard also. Lisdowney ran out winners on a scoreline of 0-19 to 1-8.
