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
