U16s defeated in first A league fixture

U16A Result
Thomastown 6-22
St Martins 3-09

St Martins opened brightly in their first match of the year on Wednesday evening and were 5 points up after some good forward play from Jack Murphy and Ronan Shore.
However, Thomastown finished the half strongly and with their full forward line on top they went in at the break 2-9 to 2-4 in front.
We were on the back foot for most of the 2nd half, the physically stronger town team came to the fore. Tommy Butler and Justin Manning put a massive effort in in midfield and Daragh Quinlan and Robert Dowling defended tenaciously but their efforts proved in vain as Thomastown ran out worthy winners.
The team was as follows:
Dan Doyle, Paul Murphy, Colm Kealy, Andrew Buggy, Daragh Quinlan, Liam Brennan, Justin Manning, Tommy Butler, Daniel Comerford, Daragh O’Shea, Robert Dowling, James Carrigan, Ronan Shore, Adam Agar, Jack Murphy. Subs used: Darragh Coughlan, Donal Coughlan, Harry Kealy, Conor Mulhall, Cian McCormack
