St Martin’s don’t want winter to end as they build on decades of work to fly Wexford flag
The Martins are from Piercestown, just a few miles out the road from Wexford town. And now they’ve gone from that to winning in Croke Park.”In Wexford, of all places, history never stops talking to itself. No Wexford club had beaten a Kilkenny club in the competition since 2013 – in Ballyhale’s last two games against Wexford teams, they ran in 11 goals and won by an average of 15 points. The Martins are the first Wexford team to win Leinster since 2016 and only the second since 1999. Especially in the winter time when there’s not as much craic going on.”The winter isn’t done yet.
