Miltown 1-9 Ennistymon 0-5

Following their loss in the first round of the minor championship to Eire Og, Miltown sealed their first win by defeating a lacklustre Ennistymon side in Miltown.

Ten minutes into the second half Seanie Malone was fouled 30 yards from goal, he took the free quickly which released Enda Fox who scored with a good low shot. Miltown cruised home from here with scores from Micheal Malone, Joe Curtin and Fox again.
Ennistymon were short 5 regular players and this was very evident from their play, particularly in the second half.
