Dissapointment for u14 Hurlers

Saint Martins and Piltown played their long awaited u14 Roinn B Hurling Championship Final in Ballyhale. In a championship that started with 17 teams both sides played their way to this final with some fine wins in what was a very competitive grade. On the day it was the lads from the south that finished as worthy Champions. The game started evenly with chances for both sides but Piltown took a grip on the game to leave the half-time score 1-9 to 0-2. Saint Martins responded in the second half to get well into the game and close the gap but a goal to Piltown settled matters with time almost up. Disappointment then for the Saint Martins team but they can look back on a great years hurling, winning the League , contesting the Feile Final and reaching the county final.  Bord NaOg laid on refreshments for the team at the Ranchers Return. Final score 2-10 to 0-8.
