Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship Semi-Final:
Milltown Defy Pre-Match Underdog Tag to Book Mid-Kerry Final Spot’
Milltown/Castlemaine 0-11 Glenbeigh/Glencar 0-9. Report By Dara O’Connor
Milltown/Castlemaine journeyed to Glenbeigh today to take on the hosts in the Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship Semi-Final, with the winner facing into a meeting with Laune Rangers in the final in 2 weeks’ time. Glenbeigh/Glencar who were the reigning champions were looking to add their fifth Mid Kerry title this decade by securing this year’s Championship but they were met by a young, energetic and hungry Milltown/Castlemaine side eager to also advance to the 2019 showpiece in the District. It was a game where the hosts only led twice all through but Milltown/Castlemaine finished strong to ensure the victory.
Dylan O’Neil opened the scoring within the first few minutes with a superb score off the ground, Jonathan O’Sullivan who put in a huge performance followed this up to give to give Milltown/Castlemaine an early 0-2 to 0-0 lead. Donal O’Neil who was called into action twice in the opening half saved brilliantly from attempts by both Pa Wren & Gavin McKenna to keep the hosts in the reckoning.
Tommy Cahill through two pointed frees & a young yet developing Adrian O’Connor put Glenbeigh/Glencar 0-3 to 0-2 ahead by the halfway mark of the opening half. Jonathan O’Sullivan & Cathal Moriarty both notched up superb scores on the turn from play to extend Milltown/Castlemaine’s lead prior to the half time interval.
Glenbeigh/Glencar were back on level terms soon after the interval when firstly Caolim Teahan followed by a Tommy Cahill free had matters tied up at 0-5 to 0-5 on 35 minutes.
Jonathan O’Sullivan who kicked 0-7 all day and was fully tuned in proved very hard to mark as a hugely talented footballer & never missed the target all afternoon. Jonathan’s scores along with superbly executed efforts from a hugely impressive Kieran O’Carroll who landed a beauty late on & Jerome Flynn who landed the clincher seen the visitors advance to a Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship meeting with Laune Rangers on Sunday, December 1st.

Rockin It!!
Students from 6th class in Nagle Rice Primary School, Milltown came 2nd place in the National SOPHia physics science competition in the University of Limerick on Friday last. Diarmuid Quirke, Sean O’ Sullivan, Chloe McHugh and Sarah Heasman submitted their project named ‘ROCK-IT’, which studied the physics of rockets, in October. They were delighted to be selected for the finals of the competition which were held in UL on Friday last to mark science week.
The students were up against some very stiff competition but they held their own and spoke confidently whilst presenting their project to the judges. They are thrilled to gain 2nd place in the junior category of this competition.
Their mentor was Cliodhna McCarthy Quirke, teacher of Science and Physics at Presentation Secondary School, Milltown and director of whos4science. Cliodhna is extremely proud as the students worked ‘hard and relentlessly on this project – we all had great fun!’ Well done to all!
