This Week in the Coiste na nÓg:
Our GAA 4 ALL team started off the week in the glorious sunshine and had great fun playing rob the nest, doing some relaxing yoga and finished off throwing water balloons at their hard working coaches to cool down. Great fun had by all.
At the same time our U13 White Team were hosting An Ghaeltacht in phase 2 of this year’s county league and produced a fantastic performance to make a winning start to phase 2. Some fantastic defending for our backs and keeper kept our opponents score down and the forward players too were on top form.
On Wednesday evening our U15 Green side played Rathmore in the Division 2 Shield Final of the County League. Our U15s performed superbly in an enthralling contest that swung one way then the other with the East Kerry side coming out on top in the end. Our Milltown/Castlemaine side went behind to two early goals but fought back more than once to lead the game by the narrowest of margins heading into the final few minutes. Rathmore finished strongly and got the win but for the neutral on the night in Listry they were treated to a great evening of football action.
On Thursday our U11 Boys Team were in action at home to Firies. Both of the two U11 sides performed very well on a beautiful sunny evening at Paddy Burke Memorial Park. There were some fantastic skills on show in all areas of the field, our U11 team showing fantastic progress with every game.
Finally our U7 Team hosted Fossa in Milltown for their first ever home match. A fantastic morning was had by all with some brilliant skills on show. Well done to all of the players and their coaches as well as our visiting team Fossa.

Senior Round Up:
Senior: The senior team were not in action this week but were busy preparing for the last game in Div 3B of the county league against Duagh next weekend. In this weekend break from the county league we had the return of inter county action. All at Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to congratulate Peter Keane, the Kerry team and coaches on winning the Munster Final against Cork on Sunday afternoon.
Junior: The fifth and final round of this years Mid Kerry Junior League saw our junior side miss out against Beaufort in a narrow defeat the final result reading Beaufort GAA 1-16 V 2-10 Milltown/Castlemaine GAA
A late Jamie O’Shea penalty looked set to inspire a comeback but time had just run out. Well done to our Junior side who have performed very well throughout in a very competitive Mid Kerry Junior League.
Minor: Our Minor side had a great win to keep their good run going in the Semi Final of the Central Region against Renard / St Marys.
Our Minors controlled the game well throughout and progressed to the final courtesy of a 5-18 to 1-07 win, well done to all our minor players who are performing excellently week after week.
