Westmeath GAA paid tribute in a heartfelt statement today, recounting “years of passion, leadership, and unforgettable moments”.
One highlight was Martin’s superb display in Westmeath’s first-ever championship win over Meath in 2015. He scored 2-3 in the Leinster semi-final success at Croke Park.
The dual star was also central to the Lake County’s historic Tailteann Cup triumph in 2022, coming off the bench to score the decisive, late goal at GAA HQ.
