The Saints 2-9 Longwood 1-11

The Saints made history when claiming their first ever minor title with this victory over Longwood in the Minor Hurling League Division 3 final at Pairc Tailteann. 

Since its formation this group has made steady progress and reached the MHT Group D final earlier in the year.

Longwood were 1-2 to 0-0 up before the East Meath side got off the mark through Conor Heavey. Longwood added another point before The Saints enjoyed a purple patch. Oisin Moran pointed before two quick fire goals from corner forward Pete Hutcheson gave them control. Rocco Reilly extended their lead and at the break they led 2-4 to 1-5.

By the end of the third quarter the sides were level 2-6 to 1-9 but three points from the impressive Hutcheson including the winner sent the silverware heading for the seaside.

After the game Niall Gogarty presented the cup to Saints captain Conor Heavey.
