St. Johns U-16’s Hurlers came out strong winners against St.Pauls on Sunday morning. Played in extremely hot and humid conditions St.Johns were too strong for the Pauls in most departments. This reversed the Thursday evening football scoreline where St.Pauls ran out 13 point victors at the same age group. Both teams haven’t had a competitive hurling match for nearly 2 months with the usual complete summer close down.
