Heartbreaking loss for seniors

St. Josephs Miltown senior hopes for 2012 are over after a one point defeat to Kilrush on a 0-12 to 1-8 scoreline today. Despite a much improved performance, Miltown are now facing into a relegation battle. In a very even game, Miltown looked the better side for long stages but Kilrush finished very strongly to take victory. Kilrush lead by 0-7 to 1-3 at the break having played with the breeze. A Brian Curtin goal approaching half time gave Miltown a two point lead as half time approached. However, Kilrush scored the last three points in the fast half as they did in the second which was to prove the key scoring spree in the game. The Miltown team lined out as follows: Niall Quinn, Enda Malone, Séan Meade, Enda O'Gorman, Séanie Malone, Gordon Kelly, Michael Hehir, John Meade, Dara McDonagh (0-1), Brian Curtin (1-1), Michéal Malone (0-1), Kevin Keavey (0-2), Eoin Curtin (0-3), Graham Kelly, Gerard Malone Subs used: Géaroid Curtin for Michael Hehir, Joe Curtin for John Meade, Michael Talty for Kevin Keavey

Bleak weekend for Miltown football

St. Josephs Miltown senior team produced a most disappointing championship display when going down to Ennistymon by 0-13 to 0-3 on Saturday. There is not a lot to say from a positive viewpoint only to say that a huge improvement is needed if Miltown are to avoid a relegation battle. The next game will be on the weekend of August 18 + 19 where a win is a must to keep championshop hopes alive. Miltown will face one of other 7 first round losers. The team lined out as follows: Niall Quinn, Enda Malone, Enda O'Gorman, Brendan O'Brien, Michael Hehir, Gordon Kelly, Dara McDonagh (0-1), John Meade, Séan Meade, Graham Kelly, Gary Egan, Brian Curtin, Michéal Malone, Eoin Curtin (0-2), Kevin Keavey. Subs used: Séanie Malone for Michael Hehir, Gerard Malone for Kevin Keavey, Michael Talty for Gary Egan, Martin Rynne for Brendan O'Brien To cap a miserable weekend, the Junior 'A' side were unable to field for their game against Clarecastle on Sunday. Four players were lost to the senior side on Saturday but the failure of some players to show on Sunday is a sad reflection on their commitment. The team will hope to re-organise and field in the remaining group games. On a more positive the minor side recorded a comprehensive 2-16 to 1-2 victory over Cratloe. The ladies club are also going well and have reached the semi final of the intermediate championship. They have recorded wins over Wolftones 3-9 to 2-2 and a 4-10 to 3-4 victory over Coolmeen,
