Final heartbreak for minors

St. Josephs Miltown minor side went down to Corofin on a 1-7 to 0-7 scoreline in the Minor Div 2 final on Saturday. A strong breeze blew down the field with Miltown facing the elements in the first half. Corofin lead by 0-4 to 0-0 at the break with Miltown failing to register on the scoreboard. Miltown began the second half brightly but were hit by the sucker punch of a Corofin goal ten minutes into the second half. Miltown proceeded to dominate the remainder of the game and were most unlucky not to draw the game with a penalty miss and an over obsession with going for goals in the closing minutes proving costly. Overall, the team and management will look back on a season of progress. However, the loss of key players through injury and unavailablity proved a bridge too far on this occasion.
Miltown Team: Ciaran Flanagan, Eoin Corbett, Martin Rynne, Ciaran Kennelly, Donal Keane, Damien Lafferty, Sean O'Malley, Niall NcGuane, Conor Cleary, Cian Talty, David Meade, Tommy Howard, Liam O'Connell, Eoin Cleary, Francis Gray. Subs: Cathal Hogan, Luke Reidy, Sheamie Parra, Paudie Flynn.
