Much needed victory for seniors

St. Josephs Miltown senior side recorded their first victory in the Cusack Cup with a one point win over Doora Barefield in Miltown today. Miltown were on top for the majority of the game but a failure to kill off the game resulted in them hanging on at the end for a 0-9 to 2-2 victory. Miltown played some good football in the firsat half to lead at the break on a 0-7 to 1-2 scoreline. However, three missed goal opportunities meant that their dominance was not reflected in a greater lead. In a poor quality second half, Miltown lead by four in the closing minutes but a Doora Barefield goal resulted in a nervy finish. All involved with the club will hope to see a senior manager appointed in the short term to bring an end to a turbulent few weeks for the senior setup. The team lined out as follows today: Niall Quinn, David Cleary, Kevin Burke, Enda Malone, Brian Curtin, Sean Meade, Gearoid Curtin, Gordon Kelly, Kevin Keavey (0-1), John Meade, Gary Egan (0-2), Ian Sexton, Micheal Malone (0-1), Joe Curtin (0-4), Seanie Malone (0-1) Subs used: Micheal Talty for Gary Egan (blood sub), Egan for Talty, Conor McKenna for Brian Curtin, Dara McDonagh for Sean Meade
