St. Martin’s GAA well represented in Dublin at the weekend.
Last Sunday was a great day in Croke Park for all in the County. St Martins played Fingallians in an U-12 challenge match in Swords before the bus headed for the Leinster Final. A superb day was had by all with two fine displays from both the Minors & Seniors. The club like heartily congratulate our own Sean Kelly who was a selector with the Kilkenny Minor team that won its 2nd Leinster Title in a row.
St Martins would like to thank St Fingallians for the hospitality afforded to them after the match.
Field Day updates
Low scoring final
Muckalee appearing in their sixth final in a row were unsucessful in their attempt to make it five out of six.The game was played in Nowlan Park before apprecative followers but it was not to be for Muckalee , as Railyard triumphed after a well contested game. Colin McGrath opened the scoring in th fourth minute taking a pass from John Maher the next scores went to Railyard but Muckalee hit a purple patch from the twenty first to the twenty fourth minutes, first Colin McGrath scored his second point after a pass from Robert Shore , next Shane Coonan pointed with the assist from John Maher, and it was Robert Shore who provided the pass for John Maher to score Muckalees only goal of the game to leave the half-time score 1-3 to 0-3. On the resumption it was still all to play for and it was Railyard who took their chances to win with goal and a late point. Eoin McGrath got our only point in the second half with the assist from Bryan Byrne in the fifteeth minute. Although the lads were dissapointed with the loss they can take great satisfaction from their efforts over recent years winning four titles.Final score 1-5 to 1-4.

Dowling Family Cup 2014
St. Martins U12’s continued their busy schedule when hosting Bennettsbridge in the Dowling family Cup last Sunday morning. In ideal conditions both teams served up an outstanding show full of all the best that this great game has to offer. There have been many great games between the two sides over the last few years and this latest instalment didnt disappoint.
After a good start with two early points St. Martins got on top and added some great scores. Bennettsbridge battled back bravely and to their credit got some great scores of their own. After an action packed second half with the action swinging from end to end our lads held out for a well deserved victory and a delighted captain Bill Dowling and vice captain Conor Egan received the Dowling Cup from his Grandfather Tom.
Refreshments kindly sponsored by the Dowling family were then served and enjoyed by all. The many visitors were also highly impressed with the new car parking facilities and of course the pitch which was as usual in perfect condition.
Special thanks to all who helped out to make the day a great sucess, also to the lads parents who make the effort to get the lads to training and matches, indeed large attendances have been a feature of the year so far and of course to all the panel who have worked very hard all year and victory in The Dowling Cup was just reward for all their effort.
