Alward Cup Win

St Martins and OLoughlin Gaels fought out a tough Alward Cup Final in Freshford,each side lined out without their County Players who are busy preparing for next Sundays All Ireland Final.The first half was close with the most important score, a goal for Martins following a great run by our Captain Eoin McGrath who passed to Brian Mulhall who finished in style to leave the half time score1-7 to 0-9.Unfortunately Brian picked up an injury which ruled him out of the second half. Martins added two more goals in the second half from Pauric Haughney and with the Martins defence denying the Gaels any they ran out winners on the score 3-13 to 0-16.The Cup was presented to Eoin by County Chairman Paul Kinsella.
