Na Fianna 2-3 Miltown 0-7.

Played @ Cusack Park 03/09/10

Miltown went down by 2 points in a closely fought Division 4 Garda tournament final. Playing with the wind in the first half Miltown started well, Padraig Murray was well on top at midfield and Miltown had Na Fianna under sustained pressure for long periods. However St.Joseph's struggled to convert their dominance in to scores and a number of goal chances went unconverted. When Joe Marrinan rattled the crossbar just before half time you had to feel Miltown's luck was out. At half time Miltown led 5 points to 1.

The second half was more balanced and Miltown's defence were holding Na Fianna forwards at bay. Unfortunately for Miltown, Na Fianna got a fortuitous goal when a long range shot dipped under Thomas Clancy's crossbar. Na Fianna added a further goal and despite very tenacious play in the second half Miltown were unable to regain the lead.

Overall Miltown played the better football on the day but just could not convert their chances when they came.
