Harsh lesson for young Saints!
A poor opening 15 minutes cost St Martins minor footballers badly in this second round league match played in Coon. Trailing by 1-06 to 0-1 at that stage the difference at the break was 2-7 to 1-3.
A storming second half performance couldn’t retrieve the game with a late lisdowney goal being crucial as the early concession of scores in the first proved to be the difference. Final score 3-11 to 3-6.
Team: Eoin Shortall, David Healy, Alan Kelly(c), Colm O’Neill, Robert Reid, Paddy Brennan, Shane Kinsella, John Joe Kelly, James Callanan, Jack Dowling, Adrian Farrell, Brandon Sheehan, Shane Dowling, Jason Shore, Brian Quirke.
Subs: Damien Egan (Used) David Walsh, Eoin Murphy, Aidan Egan
