Moonlight Footballers:
Well done to the Milltown/Castlemaine Gaa Club Thursday Night Moonlight Football Crew who finished the 2022/23 season at the Nagle Rice Astro Turf pitch last week.
The boys and their coaches battled snow, frost, ice, rain, hailstones and storms, all under the Milltown stars over the last number of weeks and their dedication was rewarded with a massive improvement in skills while keeping a smile on their faces.
The boys will be putting their new skills to use with the U-11 & U-9 teams over the coming weeks.
