St Martin’s gamble pays off as Naas routed to set up landmark day for club

St Martin's fielded a weakened team in the Leinster IFC last week, resulting in a 32-point defeat but that gamble paid off as they beat Naas in the Leinster SHC last four.

Leinster Club SHC semi-final: St Martin's (Wexford) 0-21 Naas (Kildare) 0-11 

Vindication? You could probably call it that though Daithí Hayes wasn't exactly taking credit for the big St Martin's gamble that appeared to pay off for them.
