Senior B Champions 2007

Senior B Championship Final (Played as curtain raiser to county final)

Miltown 2-9 Ennistymon 1-6

Miltown secured their first trophy of note, at senior level, since the Clare Shield in 1993 by defeating Ennistymon in the Senior B final. Miltown started fantastically and led by 1-6 to 0-1 after 20 minutes. Miltown's goal came through Dessie Molohan, arguably one of the finest goals to ever be seen in Cusack park. A long ball from Michael Hehir ran past the full back Brian McDonagh, Molohan swivelled and volley the ball over the Ennistymon goalkeeper from 20 yards. Miltown were rampant but insisted in handing Ennistymon 3 points before half time by giving away frees when in possession in their own half.
After the break Molohan again extended St.Joseph's lead with a pointed free, Alan Griffin added one for Ennistymon and Miltown captain, Eoin Curtin, replied for his side. The game was sealed whne Dessie Moholan broke a long ball into the path of Gordon Kelly who goaled from close range. Lawrence Healy got a consolation goal for Ennistymon but Michael Talty added a point to St.Joseph's tally in the final minute.
Eoin Curtin received the Scales Cup from Michael McDonagh.
