St. Martin’s young guns wear the jersey with pride………….

St Martins under 6s and under 8s had their first outing of the year when they were invited to play in a Go Games blitz  by Naomh Brid on Saturday 25th June. On a glorious day for hurling the St Martins U6s split into two teams and played games against Naomh Brid and Ballinkillen.

This was the first time that any of these players pulled on a St Martins jersey and their enthusiasm was a site to behold! Great credit must go their coaches Nicky Purcell, Danny Quirke and in particular Niall Clancy for the hours of training they are putting in with the lads on Saturday mornings.

The U8s also had two matches against the Carlow teams and again were delighted to get the chance to put their skills into practice against local opposition. Great strides continue to be made with the youngest members of our club due to the support and time that all coaches are giving to their age groups.
