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.
