A terrific fight back in the second half from an unfancied Miltown side had Wolfe Tones nerves jangling in Cusack Park on Sunday. Wolfe Tones were overwhelming favourites to win the Feile na nOg final but Joe Marrinan lay down an early marker as he goaled to put Miltown in front. The Shannon side dominated the remainder of the first half with Miltown clinging on at times and at half time the St.Joseph's supporters feared the worst at Wolfe Tones led 3-4 to 1-2. But wayward shooting by the favourites and some dogged determination from the Miltown men kept them in touch. Points from Diarmuid Meade and Cormac Murray narrowed the deficit and when Christopher Mongan rattled the net with 5 minutes left there was only 3 between the side. However that was as close as it got and Wolfe tones held on to secure a feile double in hurling and football.
Miltown Team: T.Clancy, R.Sexton, S.Hanrahan, P.Murray, S.Crowe, C.Hehir, J.Flanagan, M.Mongan, S.Malone (0-2), J.Carmody, C.Murray (0-3), C.Mongan (1-0), J.Marrinan (1-0), S.Mahoney (C), N.Hehir. Subs: D.Meade (0-1) for Carmody, T O'Neill for R.Sexton.
