Minor Championship Opener

Miltown 1 - 10 Cooraclare 3 - 9

As the old saying goes ,goals win games and this was certainly the case in Cooraclare on Wednesday evening as the Miltown minors went down to an opening day defeat in the Minor Championship.Despite playing very well in the first half Miltown found themselves behind by four points on a score line of 1 - 6 to 5 points ,Miltowns scores coming from Sean Malone (4) and Cormac Murray.

Miltown upped their game in the second half and a Martin Mongon goal brought them right back in to the game ,unfortunately two Cooraclare goals eventually put an end to Miltowns hopes, however this very young side never gave up and battled to the final whistle.Sean Malone (4) and Enda McGuane got Miltown's points in the second half.
