Miltown 2-13 Cooraclare 2-8
After being completely outplayed in the first half of this Senior championship, tie Miltown trailed by 7 points at half time, 0-8 to 0-1. Nobody in Doonbeg could have envisaged the turn around in fortunes. Miltown took control at midfield and 10 minutes after the restart Sandra Malone drew Miltown level with a long range goal. Cooraclare opened the gap again with a goal from a free, but Miltown rallied and went 1 point in front through some excellent free taking, in difficult conditions, from Aoife Healy. However Cooraclare got another goal, again from a free, to edge in front with 10 minutes to go. Miltown's resilience was evident and Aoife Helay's free had Miltown in front before Fiona Lafferty won a good ball in the square and finished from an acute angle to ensure the victory.
St. Joseph's face The Banner next, knowing that a win will ensure a semi final date with either Coolmeen or Crusheen. A loss at this stage will eliminate The Banner from the championship so victory won't be easily won, but Miltown will be out to avenge last seasons County Semi Final defeat.
