St. Martin’s Minors make winning start to league.
The St Martin’s minors got their hurling league off to a good start when they came from being five points down in the middle of the second half to win by a point.
Having being against the breeze they trailed by 0-9 to 0-7 at the break having produced some fine hurling with one score involving six players before a point was landed.
Mooncoin struck early in the second with a fine goal which put them five clear. The young saints eventually got into gear and finally reeled their opponents in winning by 1-12 to 1-11.
Many tough games lie ahead in the league but if they learn from their mistakes in this first game they will improve.

U14 Footballers display great heart!
Sunday 11th March St. Martin’s U14 Football squad travelled to Tullogeher Rosbercon’s home venue to play their U14 squad in the League.
St.Martin’s were hit by injuries and other obstacles which made making a squad a big challenge indeed. However they made a squad and a very determinded squad it turned out to be.
From the word go they fought for every ball on the pitch and off the pitch. Spirits were high and the determination each member showed was amazing. They were leading by 4 points and half time and following some badly needed hydration at they came out for the second half as strong as ever. A great performance from the whole team and finished up winning with a final score of 2-6 to 1-1.
