Under 16 make it three wins in a row.

Miltown 3-8 Kilmihil 3-5

Michael Murray and John O'Sullivan's under 16 side continued their good run in the under 16 championship, with a hard fought win over Kilmihil at home today. Despite Miltown having the better of the early exchanges, Kilmihil were in front 2-1 to 2 points when good work by Eoin and Conor Cleary released Michael Hamilton, who finished from close range. Martin Lineen replied for Kilmihil with a fine run and shot to the extend their lead. When Butcher McCarthy blew the half time whistle Miltown trailed 3-1 to 1-4.

St.Joseph's rallied in the second half and Johnaton Marrinan goaled following a point from Luke Reidy to put Miltown in front for the first time. Kilmihil fought back to edge in front again 3-3 to 2-5 before Marrinan goaled again after the ball rebounded off the post following a Conor Cleary shot. Eoin Cleary scored a fine point following a 80 metre solo run, to give Miltown the edge in the closing stages. In the end, only good defending from Donal Keane, Ciaran Kennelly and in particular Seamie Parra Haran, allowed the home side to hold on.

Miltown Team: S.Hanrahan, E.Hennessy, C.Kennelly, S.Parra Haren, E.Hurley, D.Keane, J.O'Brien, C.Cleary, A.McGuane, E.Cleary, L.Reidy, J.McGuane, J.Marrinan, M.Hamilton, K.Downes. Subs: S.O'Malley for J.McGuane, J.Maloney for M.Hamilton.
