 Appropriate Football Gear:

Can all underage team managers, trainers/coaches please ensure that all players representing Milltown /Castlemaine are dressed in club colours (Green and White socks and togs.)   This is to avoid any inconvenience prior to games.

We would also ask parents/guardians of players to inform their children of this County Board Rule.

Páidí O’ Sé tournament:

Well done to the Milltown Castlemaine boys who defeated Fingallians of Swords -Dublin in the first round of the above tournament in Gallarus on Saturday last. The final score was M/C: 0/12 points, Fingallians: 0/8 points. However, their opponents in the semi-finals-An Ghaeltacht, had the edge and after a tight tussle- M/C lost on a score line of 2.05 to 1.06.

Míle buíochas to all involved in organising such a fantastic tournament.
