Mooncoin travelled to St. Martin’s field in Muckalee to take on The U14 Lads in the Hurling league. St. Martin’s played well in the first half with only a few points seperating the two teams.

U14 Hurlers struggle against Lisdowney

Martin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:21:28 +0000

Tuesday night 24th April saw St. Martin’s U-14 squad travel to Lisdowney to take on their side in the Leaque game. The game almost failed to start with a refree misunderstanding however in fairness to Lisdowney a local ref was allerted and he duly stood in to accomadate the kids.

Lisdowney proved to be the stronger sides with scores being picked off in great style and they dominated in all areas of the field. St. Martin’s never gave up and the fought till the bitter end and showed the type of spirit that is alive and well in St. Martins.

U14 footballers take on Castlecomer

Martin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:16:15 +0000

Muckalee was the venue and Saturday evening 31st March was the date when St. Martin’s U14 Football team went head to head with Castlecomer in the Football League.

With a massively depleted squad St. Martin’s went into battle but against their neighbours and friends but Comer proved too strong for our young team. The first half was dominated by Castlecomer with some fine scores being landed on our Boys but St. Martin’s lads bounced back in a thrilling second half but it was too little too late. Comer ran out easy winners in the end.
