Miltown 2-6 Doonbeg 0-9

Miltown picked up their first victory of the 2015 campaign with a merited victory over Doonbeg in Doonbeg on Monday.In a game played in near ideal conditions both sides found scores hard to come by in the opening quarter. Miltown's first score came in the eighth minute when Conor Cleary opened his account.They had to wait almost fifteen minutes for their second, a free from Kevin Keavey.,while the home side had scored three points in the mean time..A smart well taken goal from Kevin Keavey from a Brian Curtin pass was quickly followed by an Eoin Curtin point,to give Miltown the upper hand heading towards half time ,with a point from Doonbeg leaving the score 1-3 to 0-4 at the interval.

The second half started inwhirlwind fashion for the visitiors with an Eoin Curtin point from play quickly followed by a Brian Curtin goal after a great crossfield ball from Gearoid Curtin. Doonbeg refused to lie down and  three points without reply brought them to within one score before an Eoin Curtin free stalled the home sides fightback.A great save from Sean O'Brien down low to his right prevented a certain Doonbeg goal and a further point from an Eoin Curtin free meant that despite immense Doonbeg pressure and a further point Miltown emerged deserving winners.
