Seniors on the brink

St. Josephs Miltown seniior side are one game away from relegation to the intermediate ranks for 2013 after a disappointing defeat to St, Breckans on Sunday. Miltown lost out on a 0-14 to 0-9 scoreline having left themselves with far too much to do after a very poor first half performance when playing into a very strong breeze. The team lined out as follows: Niall Quinn, Enda Malone, Sean Meade, Enda O'Gorman, Seanie Malone, Gordon Kelly, Gearoid Curtin, John Meade (0-1), Dara McDonagh, Kevin Keavey (0-1), Micheal Malone (0-1), Brian Curtin (0-1), Eoin Curtin, Dessie Molohan (0-5), Gerard Malone Subs used: Joe Curtin for Gerard Malone. A knee injury which has ended Graham Kelly's season is a big blow to Miltown's hopes of survival ahead of the relegation final with Lissycasey in two weeks.
