Miltown 1-09
Shannon Gaels 0-9
Our Junior C side qualified for this years championship semi final after a hard fought win over Shannon Gaels in Cooraclare on Sunday evening. The game played in wet and breezy conditions was a tough battle from the outset with both sides struggling with the conditions. Benny O'Reilly got Miltown off the mark after 17 minutes with a pont from play followed by scores from Noel McGuane and Ronan Meade. The decisive score of the half and as it would turn out of the game came in the 23rd minute when Declan Rynne found the back of the Gaels with a fine strike. Two further points from Noel McGuane rounded off the Miltown scoring as a well organized defence and hard working midifield limited the Gaels to three points over the half hour.
Brian Morrissey opened the scoring in the second half with a point from play followed by a free from Michael Hehir. Shannon Gaels began to get their scoreboard ticking and slowly ate into the Miltown lead as the half progressed. Benny O'Reilly struck his second point of the game the keep daylight between the sides. The Gaels reduced the lead to two points as the final whistle approached before Sean McMahon raiding from corner back knocked over the assurance point in the 32nd minute to ensure victory.
