Miltown v Ennistymon 18-05-2015

Miltown 2-4  Ennistymon 1-7

Miltown and Ennistymon shared the spoils in a low key O'Gorman Cup fixture played in a cold, wet and miserable Lahinch on Monday evening.Playing 13 a side Miltown started the game brightly and were ahead on a scoreline of 1-1 (with the goal coming from Darragh Mcdonagh) to no score before play was interupted for ten to fifteen minutes due to the field being used for a medical airlift by the Shannon based rescue helicopter.After play resumed Miltown goaled again this time from Kevin Keavey.After a discussion with the referee the Ennistymon goalkeeper was black carded and replaced.Points from Kevin Keavey and Micheal Malone gave Miltown a halftime lead of 2-2 to 1-3.

The second half was a largely forgetable affair with missed chances from both sides as the weather and light continued to deteriorate. Ennistymon had slightly the better of things, but with points from Kevin Keavey and John Meade Miltown held on the record their first point of this years competition.

U16 Shield Final  17-05-2015

Miltown v The Banner

Miltown 1-6  The Banner 1-6

Miltown U16's were cruelly denied a deserved victory in the U16 Shield final in Cusack Park on Sunday evening when a late goal from The Banner ensured that the teams would have to meet again to decide this years title.

The first half was a tight affair played in heavy rain which at times made handling very difficult.An early Eoin Looney goal and two points from the impressive Sean Clancy meant that Miltown went in at half time level on a scoreline of 1-2 to 0-5.The second half saw Miltown establish control with some fine attacking football allied to a strong and disciplined defence which caused numerous problems for their opponents.Scores from Sean Clancy (2), Zack Whelehan and Micheal Murray and some impressive goalkeeping from Euan Reidy meant Miltown went into the closing stages leading by three points.

The Banner increased the pressure on Miltown in the final minutes and were rewarded when a last minute goal finally broke the Miltown rearguard action and meant the sides will have to meet again in Kilfenora on Friday 22nd at 7pm.

After a difficult season, the resolve and dedication of both the players and management must be highly commended and their performance on Sunday gives great hope and belief in this group.

Miltown : Euan Reidy,Saul Boyd,Evan Crowley,Padraig Devitt,Tadhg Flynn,Oisin Looney,Sean Clancy,Eoin Looney,Ronan Meade,Cillian O'Malley,Micheal Murray,Jack Downes,Cian Flanagan,Tadhg O'Neill,Zack Whelehan.

Division 5 League 2015 Round 5 

Miltown v Shannon Gaels

Miltown 5-7 Shannon Gaels 2-7

A glut of second half goals , three of them from Des Molohan gave Miltown their second win of the season in driving rain at Hennessy Park on Sunday.

Miltown started the game at a very impressive pace and had 1-1 to show for it after the opening 10 minutes ,the goal coming from Kevin Burke after Martin Mongan had opened proceedings with a point from play.

The Gaels fought back strongly and after a dubious enough penalty went in at half time leading on a scoreline of 2-4 to 1-4 with Miltown's other scores coming from the boot of Gary Egan (2) and Gerard Malone.

Miltown started the second half brightly and 1-1 from the influential Gary Egan put them back into the lead.

The introduction of substitute Des Molohan early in the second half proved to be the turning point in the game with the veteran forward securing a hat trick of goals and two points to secure victory for the home side which keeps them in the running for a semi final position with two games against Moy and Killimer to play.

Cusack Cup 2015 Round 5

Miltown v Kilmurry Ibrickane 04-05-2015

Miltown 0-8 KIB 0-8

After two defeats Miltown steadied the ship with a hard fought draw against neighbours Kilmurry Ibrickane in Miltown on Monday.The first half was a tight tense affair with Miltown kicking a number of wides while playing with the breeze.Points from Eoin Cleary,Darragh McDonagh and Kieran Malone were all Miltown could muster in the opening thirty minutes which saw KIB score four in reply.

The second half produced a much improved performance from the home side when playing into the breeze with the half back line of Graham Kelly,Gordon Kelly and Eoin O'Brien particularly prominent.Four points from the boot of Eoin Cleary, (two from play) ensured that there was little between the sides coming into the closing ten minutes and a point from Micheal Malone ensured both sides left Hennessy Park with honours intact.

Draws were the order of the weekend between Miltown and KIB as both sides played out an other hard fought draw in the Division 5 clash played in Quilty on Saturday.That game finished on a scoreline of Miltown 0-8 KIB 1-5 which meant for the second year in a row there was nothing to separate the sides.
