Minors Exit Championship

Ennistymon 3-6 Miltown 0-8
(Played 16/9/07)

Miltown bowed out of the minor championship following this defeat to Ennistymon in Quilty. Ennistymon had the edge over their opponents in most positions and led 2-2 to 6 at half time. Joe Curtin scored all of Miltown's 8 points , 4 from play and was the only bright spot in an under performing attack and midfield.

Minors Derby Win

Miltown 2-5 Kilmurray Ibrickane 0-6

Miltown face Ennistymon in a play off for the last semi final place in the minor A championship, following their exciting win over Kilmurray Ibrickane at Hennessy Park last night.
Kilmurray opened the scoring through Mark McCarthy and led 3 points to 1, following scores from corner forward Mark Frawley and again Mark McCarthy. Enda Fox got his second point to close the gap and Joe Curtin leveled the game at half time with a flicked point.
Kilmurray went back in front, 5 to 3, again from the boot of McCarthy. Joe Curtin pointed again to put the minimum between the sides. Miltown were then awarded a controversial penalty by Ml Rock, when Peter O'Dwyer appeared to foul the ball in the Kilmurray box, Joe Curtin duly tucked away the spot kick to put the home side in front for the first time. Full Forward, McCarthy, pulled a point back but Sean Malone made it 1-5 to 6 when he pointed from close range. Thomas Flynn sealed the result when he got Miltown's second goal in injury time.

Senior Status Secure following Breckans win

Miltown 2-8 St. Breckans 0-7

Miltown secured senior status for 2008 by defeating St.Breckans in the Senior B quarter final. Miltown await the winners of the Shannon Gaels/O'Curry's replay in the semi final.

St. Joseph's started poorly but still led at half time 5 points to 4, with scores from Garry Egan, Kevin Keavey & Dessie Molohan. A Graham Kelly point early in the second half pushed Miltown further in front and St. Breckans seemed to be loosing touch as Eoin Curtin made it 7 to 4 from a placed ball. Breckan's problems worsened when Brian Curtin raced through the centre to fire a shot goalward, Hawes made a fantastic save but the ball was bundled home by Dessie Molohan with some help from the Lisdoon defence. Michael Talty and Garret Hynes were introduced with Talty making an immediate impression with a nice point. He followed this up with a well taken goal which will do his claim for a regular start no harm whatsoever.

Miltown Team: C.O'Loughlin, S.Curtin, K.Burke, E.Malone, B.Curtin, Gordon Kelly, M.Hehir, Graham Kelly, S.Meade, G.Egan, M.Barry, M.Neylon, E.Curtin, D.Molohan, K.Keavey. (Subs) G.Hynes for G.Egan, M.Talty for D.Molohan & C.Lafferty for M.Barry
Scorers: D.Molohan 1-3, M.Talty 1-1, E.Curtin, Graham Kelly, K.Keavey & G.Egan all 1pt.
