Winning start in Junior A championship

St Josephs Miltown Junior A side caused a major surprise in the first group game of the championship when defeating Nsomh Eoin on a 2-5 to 0-9 scoreline. Naomh Eoin would be among the championship favourites but in a game played in very wet conditions, Miltown showed great battling qualities to pull of the win. Goalkeeper Robbie Healy sealed the win in the closing stages when coming upfield to convert a 45. The management will now hope that no more players are lost from the team and go on to build on this performance. Miltown's next two group games are against Meelick and Ennistymon both of whom defeated Miltown in last years championship.
