SLOT wins All-Ireland in deadlock with FMM

Ballymena, Northern Ireland – July 6, 2019 – St. Laurence O’Toole took the 2019 All-Ireland Championship in the closest of ways, winning both the Medley and MSR events by ensemble preference. In stark contrast to the eleventh in drumming that Field Marshal had at the European Championships the week before, the band was first from drumming judge Paul Turner in the MSR.

It was St. Laurence O’Toole’s first All-Ireland Championship win since 2014, breaking Field Marshal Montgomery’s four year winning streak.
