Seniors complete their season

St. Josephs Miltown senior team completed their 2010 season on Saturday when they bowed out of the Senior B competition with a semi final defeat to Ennistymon on a 2-13 to 2-10 scoreline. Motivation was always going to be a problem for this game following from the disappointment of narrowly missing out on scoring differences for a quarter final spot. Missing five starters from the championship team, it was a much depleted team that fielded on the day. However, many of the newcomers played very well but some poor turnover of possession on the day which lead to at least 2-2 was to prove costly. Miltown lead 1-8 to 1-4 at half time with Dessie Molohan slotting home a goal. Miltown continued to hold the upperhand in the second half with Michael Barry continuing his good form of recent games with a fine goal. Miltown lead by 2-10 to 1-10 entering the closing stages but Ennistymon hit 1-3 in the closing stages to take the win. One worrying note from the day was an injury picked up in the opening minutes by Seanie Malone which could prove costly to the minor side in upcoming games. The team lined out as follows: Conor O'Loughlin, Michael Talty, Shane Curtin, Enda Malone, Ian Sexton, Gearoid Curtin, Michael Hehir, Cathal Lafferty, Michael Barry (1-2), David Talty, Gary Egan, Seanie Malone, Joe Curtin(0-1), John Meade, Eoin Curtin(0-3). Subs used: Dessie Molohan(1-4) for Seanie Malone(inj), Dara McDonagh for Cathal Lafferty, Michael Talty for Enda O'Gorman(inj).

In other news, the u-14 side completed their campaign with a 8-9 to 4-4 victory over Cratloe but missed out on a semi final spot.
