U16 team shine under lights in Football County Final

St. Martins U16 lads claimed an early Christmas present when they won the Roinn B U16 football championship under lights in Muckalee. Playing against a strong wind in the first half Emeralds were first to score with a point from play after eight minutes. St. Martins forwards created some good chances and eventually got a point to level matters. After a few missed efforts we goaled and added two more points to 3 pointed frees from emralds to leave half time score St. Martins 1-3 Emeralds 0-4. With the rain now falling and the wind up our lads put some serious pressure on the opposition resulting in well taken scores. The lads playing well and backing each other up around the field driving forward from the half backs the scores eventually came to close out the game on a scoreline of St. Martins 3-8 Emeralds 0-8. Congrats to all members of this panel as a lot of hard work was put in all year resulting in this hard fought win. Thanks to Muckalee football field committee for having the pitch in such good condition at this time of year.
