Martin's finally taste success
Having emerged as a footballing force in recent years, this proud hurling club has now managed to break through in the big ball code and their experienced inter-county players inspired them with Dáithí Waters and Ciarán Lyng outstanding, while Dáithí Hayes, Páidí Kelly, Willie Devereux and Ciarán Redmond gave tremendous displays throughout.
St Martin’s never trailed. After Lyng, who kicked over three magnificent long range first-half points, and Chris Colfer, exchanged points the eventual winners assumed control, powering into a 0-4 to 0-1 lead before Jamie Carty blazed home a tremendous 20th minute goal that helped his side to a 1-6 to 0-1 interval lead.
