St Martin’s 1-15 - 1-13 St Anne’sIt was a measure of St Anne’s performance that warm favourites St Martin’s were made battle to the bitter end before eventually emerging with a two-point victory in this Wexford SHC final played at Innovate Wexford Park yesterday afternoon. It was the point-taking of Joe Coleman that was keeping St Martin’s in front, while Dee O’Keeffe was contributing to his side’s efforts with accurate freetaking. Approaching the break, St Martin’s were leading by three points, when Jake Firman goalled from close range to give his side a 1-10 to 0-7 interval lead. St Martin’s still led by six points with 20 minutes remaining when Dee O’Keeffe and St Anne’s suddenly stormed into the game. That left St Martin’s defending desperately in the four minutes of additional time to emerge with their second title in three years.
