U12 Finals Day

Cusack Park 01-06-2015

The U12 league came to a conclusion in Cusack Park last Monday for St. Josephs Miltown Malbay. Both teams had finals to play. The team competing in the Banner league which is made up of almost all u11 players and a few u10’s came up against Kilmurry Ibrickane and despite taking the lead in the first half the physical strength of our opponents ended up paying dividends and we lost an exciting game by two points. The team competing in the Brian O Reilly League, Division 1, have made great strides from their opening defeat against Ennistymon and have not lost a game since. They have being playing a high tempo brand of attacking football all the way. They faced off against a very strong Corofin team in their final. Despite being seven points behind at one stage our boys mounted a strong comeback and their attacking play yielded a number of scores with unselfish play from the inside forward line creating space and opportunities for their teammates to plunder a number of great goals to win the thrilling encounter. There is a great crop of players involved at this age group and their commitment and effort is never in question which points toward a strong future for Miltown Malbay GAA. Neart Trí Iarracht.

Lashing rain ,driving wind and low temperatures welcomed both teams and supporters to a sodden Hennessy Park on Monday when Miltown ensured their status in Division 5 for next year with a well deserved victory over Moy .Playing with the aid of the elements in the first half Miltown placed the Moy defense under severe pressure and kept the scoreboard ticking over with nine points and a cracking goal from Des Molohan. Moy's best chance of a goal in the first half was superbly saved by Paul Tubridy and a solitary point was all they could muster for the 30 mins.
