Miltown 0-8 Lissycasey 2-3

Miltown fell to their second defeat of the 2015 Cusack Cup when going down by a single point to Lissycasey in terrible conditions in Lissycasey. The game started in a downpour and with a cold biting wind adding to the adding to the discomfort.The weather didn't seem to bother the home side who goaled within 17 seconds of the throw in with the wind to their backs.A second goal after just 8 minutes left Miltown who were finding the massed Lissycasey defence difficult to breakdown , facing an uphill battle.Points from Kieran Malone (2) and a Conor Cleary free were all Miltown could muster in the opening 30 and they went in trailing on a scoreline of 2-3 to 0-3.

The second half showed a marked improvement from Miltown as they set about reeling in the home side.An Eoin Curtin point followed by 2 long range efforts from Conor Cleary & John Meade brought Miltown to within a goal.A black card for the lively Eoin Curtin and injuries to Shane Curtin & Graham Kelly took some of the momentum out of the Miltown fightback and despite 2 points from Conor Cleary Miltown were unable to get the equaliser and Lissycasey who failed to score in the second half held out for a one point win as the darkness drew in.
