St Martins recaptured the Kilkenny Vehicle Centre Minor Roinn A Football Championship after an entertaining game against St Patricks, Ballyragget on bank holiday Monday in Ballyragget. Both teams were slow to get going in what was a cagey affair to start with. Gradually St Martins started to get the upper hand and scored some fine points from Jack Coogan, Michael Ruane and James O’Neill after some good passing moves. In the second half St Martins continued their dominance and had well take goals by James O’Neill, Micheal Ruane and Ewan Buggy to run out comfortable winners on the day.
