Sacrament of Confirmation: Congratulations to all our young players who made their confirmation on Tuesday March 28th with Bishop Ray Browne. We hope the Holy Spirit will guide and protect you throughout your lives.
Senior League: Division 1:
Our seniors were away to Rahilly’s on Saturday last.
Both Milltown Castlemaine and Kerins O’ Rahilly’s lined out without a number of regulars but still served up a highly competitive affair -with never more than a couple of points separating the teams. Rahilly’s went in up a point at half time on a score of 8pts to 7pts.
The second half resumed with an exchange of points that saw Milltown Castlemaine take the lead before an opportunistic goal by Rahilly’s saw them take the lead by 2. Milltown Castlemaine fought back to earn a deserved point after two Kerins O’ Rahilly’s players saw red in their efforts to keep Milltown Castlemaine at bay.
David Roche and Pa Wrenn at midfield were outstanding despite conceding height difference to their opponents and defensively Stephen Roche and Nigel Wrenn led from the front. Top scorers on the day were Jonathon O’Sullivan, Cathal Moriarty with Pa Wrenn and Jerome Flynn also contributing.
Our seniors are at home to St. Mary’s on April 9th with a 3.00 p.m. start. So why not give them your support.
Minor League:
Our minors were unlucky in their encounter with Waterville/Dromid on Saturday last. Played in glorious sunshine, the final score was 2:13 to 1:09
The minors are at home to Kilcummin on March 31st with a 6.30 p.m. throw in. So head along and give them your support.
Under 12’s are at home to Ballmac on Sunday April 2nd with a 6 pm throw in.
Our Under 14’s are at home to Kilgarvan/Tousist on March 29th with a 6.30 start in the 2nd Round of the County League.

So head out and buy that lucky lotto ticket-available from the usual sellers and local businesses. It could be you!
Revised dressing room/side-line guidelines:
Please note that under age players are NOT permitted inside the dressing rooms prior to or after a SENIOR game or inside the surrounding fence wire when a senior game is ongoing.
This is to protect all parties involved. We ask parents and guardians to continually remind their children of this rule which will be strictly enforced. We appreciate your on- going support and cooperation.
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.
