Pieta House Walk/Run 2021:
A sincere thank you to all of our club members and more who took part in Milltown Castlemaine GAAs Walk/Run for Pieta this weekend.
We had members all over the country taking part and even abroad raising almost €1,000 and a lot of awareness for the amazing services that Pieta House provides. This means that over the past 12 months our club members have raised almost €5,000 for Pieta House over the past 12 months.
Thank you to all of our participants over the past two events, it was fitting that the sun shone so brightly at the weekend and we hope that the wonderful photos of our club members out and about for Pieta House brought some sunshine to everyone who saw them.
Condolences:
The sympathies of all at Milltown/Castlemaine GAA are with Liz & Brendan Lynch on the passing of Liz’s mother Ann Creedon in Sonas Nursing home here in Milltown during the week. Brendan and Liz are an integral part of several coaching and supervising teams at our club and at this difficult time all our thoughts and prayers are with them. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam
Our most sincere condolences to the family of Mary Hanafin who sadly passed away earlier this week and to her Grandson and senior player with Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Ciaran O’Connor. The sympathies, thoughts and prayers of all at Milltown/Castlemaine are with you all, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

This Week in the Coiste na nÓg:
The week started on Monday with our U8 Girls welcoming Castleisland for a fantastic evening of football showing the skills they have been learning at training whilst on the training pitch our GAA 4 All group enjoyed lots of fun with three legged races and egg & spoon races.
Our U9 Boys then travelled to Beaufort on Tuesday for their first Go Games of the year and all three teams played very well on the night with some excellent attacking play. Whilst the U15 Green Team traveled to Killorglin for the first of two trips this week and faced a very strong Laune Rangers side who took the win.
On Thursday evening our U10 Girls were at home in action against Firies and again showed some absolutely fantastic footballing ability and played very well as a team. On the same night our U11 Boys played very well on their visit to Lewis Road showing very strongly against the two Dr Crokes sides in their Go Games.
Friday evening brought another trip over the Laune with our U15 White Team again the home team were strong but our U15s played very well only losing out by three points at full-time.
The week ended with a great win at home in Paddy Burke Memorial Park with an enthralling game of football for our U13 Green Team against St.Michaels/Foilmore. A fantastic contest that saw our U13s dig deep to win by two points for their third win on the run.

Junior Match Report:
Mid Kerry Junior Football League
Round 1
Glenbeigh/Glencar 3-12 Milltown/Castlemaine 2-11
Venue: Glenbeigh/Glencar GAA Grounds
No joy for our Junior side tonight as they fell to a four point defeat in Glenbeigh on a lovely surface for football.
We trailed 2-6 to 2-5 at half time with the green flags being raised by Sean Hogan and Liam Burke for us and it was nip and tuck all through the second half also with very little between either side, Glenbeigh/Glencar shading the scoreline at 2-12 to 2-11 heading towards the final minutes.
A late well taken goal however on the break sealed the deal for the home side as they ran out four point winners in a game that really could have went either way. The main difference on the evening was the efficiency of the home team in front of the posts.
Hard luck to the players and management who play host to An Ghaeltacht next Tuesday at 20.00 in Milltown.
