The Minors suffered their second loss of the minor championship at home to Wolfe Tones last night. Miltown started well with good defensive play from Eoin O'Brien and Gearoid Curtin. They led 4 points to 1 when Seanie Malone slipped the ball apst the Wolfe Tones goalie to put Miltown 6 ahead. Wolfe Tones responded immediately, Leahy rounded Colin McGuane and drove the ball past Padraig Queally. St. Joseph's led 1-4 to 1-1 at the break.
Shannon were first out of the blocks in the second half and closed the deficit to 2. Joe Curtin, who scored 6 points on the night, had a chance to open the gap further but he slipped the ball wide when one on one with the keeper. Wolfe Tones drew in front when Queally was lobbed and further points left Miltown 5 a drift. The Miltown closed the gap though Joe Curtin but Wolfe Tones got another goal to leave the gap at 6 again. Enda Fox and Joe Curtin pointed to leave 3 between them but time was not on Miltown's side.
Miltown will be counting the cost of the game today with 4 injury concerns ahead of the next game versus Ennistymon. David Talty (Wrist), Enda O'Gorman (Ankle), Gearoid Curtin (Knee) and Seanie Malone (Hand), will all face a race against time to be fit for Wednesday week.
