Condolences:
All involved in Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to pass on our sincere condolences to the family of the late Vincent Prendergast of Ardlahas, Beaufort and Castlemaine, Co. Kerry.
Vincent was a very well known and highly respected gentleman who was a pillar in the local community particularly in the organising and running of a whole host of different events down through the years.
Vincent was also vital to a variety of fundraisers we ran at the club including the Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Ring of Kerry Solo Run in 2013 and a Golf Classic whilst he was also the main man behind the building of all the storage lockers at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park, our home grounds.
An avid supporter of our club over many years, you’d often find Vincent on the terrace side of the Paddy Burke Memorial Park supporting the senior team on a weekend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Vincent’s family and friends at this most difficult time.
Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Acknowledgement: Club Volunteerism
Well done to a great team of volunteers led by the expertise of Paud and Kieran Hogan who completed trojan work in recent weeks by adding an additional concrete step (the 3rd in total) on the terrace side of the pitch at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown next to the stand.
A fantastic addition to our club facilities which will make the spectator experience all the better. Great stuff lads and thanks to Danny McClure for compiling a video clip (link attached below) which shows in-depth the superb volunteers we have involved in the club who always put their shoulder to the wheel and are never found wanting! ⚪⚪⚪⚪

Milltown Bowling Club:
New Year, New hobby.
Want to try something new and fun then come along to Milltown Nagle Rice community centre and have a go at short mat bowls.
All you need is just a pair of comfortable shoes for two hours of gently rolling bowls along a 1.8 meter wide x 12 meter long mat.
A timber block is placed midway along the mat and the aim of the game is to roll a bowl along the mat, avoiding the block and touching a yellow ball called the “Jack” at the opposite end.
A wooden fender is placed at both ends to keep the bowls from rolling off the mat end.
Nearest bowl to the Jack after 9 ends scores, the more of your bowls closer than your opponent the more you score.
All training and guidance will be provided along with the use of club bowls to get you started.
Once you get going then we have league and cup competitions, friendly individual and group matches along with the opportunity to play other clubs within Kerry.
Sounds simple!!!
Well the only way to find out is to come along and have a go.
First night is free and it’s only a fiver then per night for two hours of fun and learning to play one of the fastest growing indoor sports for all age groups in Ireland.
Milltown bowls club looks forward to seeing you on Tuesday and Friday nights at 8pm.

Credit Union County Senior Football League: Division 1, Round 4 Result and Match Report and Round 5 Fixture
Milltown/Castlemaine’s Senior ‘A’ side travelled to Strand Road, Tralee on Sunday afternoon to take on Kerins O’Rahillys in Division 1 of the Credit Union County Senior Football League.
Both sides came into the contest searching for their first win of the competition with the hosts losing their first three matches whilst Milltown/Castlemaine fared slightly better with one draw and two defeats.
Kerins O’Rahillys started much the brighter of the two teams and had a 0-4 to 0-0 lead built up by the 10th minute thanks to scores from Tom Hoare, Darragh O’Connor and Daniel Bowler.
Eanna O’Connor finally managed to get Milltown/Castlemaine off the mark after 12 minutes with a free from an acute angle but this was cancelled out moments later when Kerry U20 footballer, Darragh O’Connor kicked his third point to leave it 0-5 to 0-1 after 15 minutes.
The turning point in this game, however, was undoubtedly what occurred next as Jake Foley, playing midfield for the home side was shown a straight red card after catching David Roche high in the tackle.
Centre-Forward Shane McElligott also left the play for O’Rahillys through what appeared to be an ankle injury so all of a sudden they were down two key players in central positions and the momentum shifted to the visitors.
Pa Wren and Darragh O’Connor exchanged points from play to leave Rahillys ahead 0-6 to 0-2 after 20 minutes but that would be the hosts final score for the remainder of the half as Milltown/Castlemaine hit 2-1 without reply before the break with the goals coming from Eanna O’Connor and Gavin Horan and O’Connor raising a white flag also to leave the half-time score 2-3 to 0-6.
Kerins O’Rahillys through an in-form Darragh O’Connor up front, notched the opening point of the second half to take his tally to five for the afternoon and then Eanna O’Connor and Barry John Keane exchanged points from play to leave it 2-4 to 0-8 after 37 minutes.
Milltown/Castlemaine put their foot on the gas however for the next five minutes with another 2-1 unanswered with the goals coming from Brendan Casey and Jerome Flynn and Pa Wren notching his second score of the afternoon from full-back.
The away side had now opened up a commanding 4-5 to 0-8 lead by the 43rd minute and it looked to be game over at Strand Road.
To the home sides great credit, they rallied for the remainder of the contest and buoyed by a black card being shown to Milltown/Castlemaine’s David Roche, it was 14 on 14 for the next ten minutes.
The hosts made inroads during this spell as the visitors retreated with O’Rahillys scoring 1-3 without response. Daniel Bowler with his second of the day and a fisted point from substitute Conor Hayes had the lead cut to 4-05 to 0-10 by the 50th minute and a penalty kick was awarded in the 52nd minute which was dispatched to the corner of Cormac Leane’s net despite his best efforts to almost keep it out.
Than man again, Darragh O’Connor landed his sixth and final point of the game in the 59th minute and suddenly it was game on as we headed for injury time with lead cut from 9 to 3 points in the space of fifteen minutes, Milltown/Castlemaine now leading 4-05 to 1-11.
Kerins O’Rahillys threw the kitchen sink at the away side in injury time but the only scores that materialised in a six minute period were an exchange from Eanna O’Connor and Conor Hayes at either end to leave the final score 4-06 to 1-12 in Milltown/Castlemaine’s favour.
Well done to the players and management who now have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their opening four fixtures in Division 1.
Round 5 will take place on Sunday, April 27th when Milltown/Castlemaine host Killarney Legion at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park at 6:30pm. All support is welcome.

Milltown/Castlemaine’s Minor side (U17s) welcomed St Michaels Foilmore/Skellig Rangers to the Paddy Burke Memorial Park on Monday evening for Round 2 of the Kellihers Toyota Central Region and in what was a thoroughly entertaining game of football in near perfect conditions, nothing could separate the sides in what can only be described as a goalfest! The final score was Milltown/Castlemaine 7-09 St Michaels Foilmore/Skellig Rangers 6-12. This makes it 1 win and 1 draw from the opening two rounds for the players and management.

Senior Ladies: Donal Curtin Cup Round 2 Result
In conditions which are unfamiliar to us this year (sunshine ) we made the trip back west on Sunday to face Dingle in the second round of Dónal Curtin Cup to face a strong & established Dingle team.
The first 10 minutes were an even affair, both teams sounding the other out before Dingle made the breakthrough with a well taken point, this opened up Dingle to notch on a few more scores before our girls found their groove with Tina Galvin fresh off the back of last weeks heroics coming close a goal as it whispered passed the post, and Tanya Joy relishing goals at the moment with another point blank save for the second week in a row as our defence came under pressure from a solid Dingle forward line.
In blistering heat we attacked the second half with more determination and ferocity notching up with 2 quick scores through Tina Galvin & Maeve O’ Connor, keeping Dingle to shooting from far out with some solid defence shown by Aileen Courtney, Nicola Kerins & Breda Moran.
Some valiant efforts by our midfielders Paige O’ Connor & Evelyn Twiss, Angela Griffin stepping up with some lovely ball into our forward line.
Missing a few players through injury we always knew our trip back west would be a difficult one but the girls gave it their all and again for a second week in a row left it all on the field.
Thank you to Dingle for hosting today’s match in beautiful conditions.
As always thank you to our coach Linus, supporters and families who came to support our senior ladies in what is their inaugural year of senior football.
Thank you to our sponsor South West Social

Milltown Bowling Club:
New Year, New hobby.
Want to try something new and fun then come along to Milltown Nagle Rice community centre and have a go at short mat bowls.
All you need is just a pair of comfortable shoes for two hours of gently rolling bowls along a 1.8 meter wide x 12 meter long mat.
A timber block is placed midway along the mat and the aim of the game is to roll a bowl along the mat, avoiding the block and touching a yellow ball called the “Jack” at the opposite end.
A wooden fender is placed at both ends to keep the bowls from rolling off the mat end.
Nearest bowl to the Jack after 9 ends scores, the more of your bowls closer than your opponent the more you score.
All training and guidance will be provided along with the use of club bowls to get you started.
Once you get going then we have league and cup competitions, friendly individual and group matches along with the opportunity to play other clubs within Kerry.
Sounds simple!!!
Well the only way to find out is to come along and have a go.

Senior Ladies: Donal Curtin Cup Result
A proud day for our club on Sunday afternoon fielding the first competitive LGFA side in the Dónal Curtin Cup. A hearty & brave performance by our ladies, in poor conditions against Currow. As a club we couldn’t be prouder to see these ladies don the club colours and leave it all on the field. 🇳🇬
Against a strong wind in the first half, we held the majority of possession but were unfortunate in our efforts to convert, hitting the crossbar twice in quick succession, with us trailing at the break.
It was Currow who came out of the blocks in second half stronger with Tanya Joy stopping a rocket of a shot soon into second half, our girls rallied and soon took advantage of the strong wind, with some well taken points by Paige O’ Connor, Eileen Mangan, & Nicola Kerins with Tina Galvin finding the net with a move that could only be described as straight off the training ground.
Unfortunately it was not our day, but we wish to thank Currow for a competitive game and onwards and upwards for these ladies in 2024. Thank you to Linus, and all the supporters who travelled for the game.
Thank you to our sponsor South West Social

Credit Union County Senior Football League: Division 1, Round 3 Result and Match Report
Milltown/Castlemaine 0-4 Laune Rangers 0-7
Venue: Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown
Referee: John Michael Fitzgerald (Abbeydorney)
Rivalries were renewed on Sunday afternoon at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park in Milltown as Milltown/Castlemaine hosted near neighbours Laune Rangers in Round 3 of the Credit Union County Senior Football League.
The hosts were coming into the contest after losing to Glenflesk in Round 1 and drawing with Ballymacelligott in Round 2. Laune Rangers on the other hand were on the back of two victories against Kerins O’Rahillys and Killarney Legion.
In what was a low scoring affair between the two sides in very windy conditions, Laune Rangers played with a strong breeze in their favour for the opening half but it was the home side, Milltown/Castlemaine who registered the games first score as Dylan O’Neil kicked a point from play after breaking through a number of tackles.
Laune Rangers first point of the afternoon came from a John Tyther 21 metre free to leave it 0-1 to 0-1 after 10 minutes.
A long wait ensued until the next score came and when it did from Eanna O’Connor in the 20th minute, it was quickly responded to through a Fiachra Clifford close range free at the other end.
The scores were tied at 0-2 to 0-2 after 23 minutes and only one further score was put on the board before the break as John Tyther put over a long distance free to leave the away side holding a slender lead at 0-3 to 0-2 at half time.
One would be forgiven for thinking that the hosts were content with keeping Laune Rangers to three scores in the opening half and the expectation was that Milltown/Castlemaine would kick on in the second half with the elements in their favour and on home soil but that’s not how it played out as pointed efforts from play in the 32nd and 37th minutes from Daire Cleary and Rory O’Connor extended the lead out to 0-5 to 0-2.
Eanna O’Connor landed one of Milltown/Castlemaine’s two second half points in the 39th minute to reduce the deficit.
Patrick Carey made a long and probing run from centre back in the 49th minute and he cut a line straight through the home side’s rearguard and went for goal but a good save from Cormac Leane diverted it over for a point. This was followed by a pointed free from substitute Patrick Daly in the 52nd minute.
Eanna O’Connor put over a free for Milltown/Castlemaine in the 57th minute to bring it back to a one score game at 0-7 to 0-4 as we headed for the closing stages but the result was never really in doubt at any stage in the second half as the visitors deservedly closed the game out to maintain their 100 percent record in Division 1.
Teams and Scorers
Milltown/Castlemaine:
Cormac Leane, Stephen Roche, Pa Wren, Anthony Kelliher, Kieran O’Carroll, David Roche, Jonathan O’Connor, Gavin Horan, Donal Dennehy, Dylan O’Neil (0-1), Eanna O’Connor (0-3), Dara Hogan, Cathal Moriarty, Sean Hogan, Brendan Casey.

Keane’s Supervalu County Minor Football League: Division 4 Semi-Final Result
Milltown/Castlemaine’s Minors travelled to take on Cordal on Monday evening in the Keane’s Supervalu County Minor Football League Division 4 Semi-Final. This was an enthralling contest between two very evenly matched sides. The bare minimum separated the teams at half time as Cordal led 1-4 to 1-3 and after a epic finale, nothing could keep the sides apart as extra-time was needed with the scores level at 1-7 to 2-4. It was the home side who emerged victorious in the end, however, on a final score of 3-8 to 3-5. Hard luck to our lads who gave a great account of themselves all through in a game that really could have gone either way.

Credit Union County Senior Football League: Division 1, Round 2 Result and Round 3 Fixture
Milltown/Castlemaine 1-08
Ballymacelligott 1-08
Venue: Caherslee, Tralee
Referee: Edmund Walsh (Rathmore)
Our Senior ‘A’ side took a share of the spoils away from Caherslee in Tralee on Saturday evening in Round 2 of the Credit Union County Senior Football League. Conditions underfoot were challenging for both sides due to the inclement weather all week.
First half points from Gavin Horan (0-1), Sean Hogan (0-3) and Dara Hogan (0-1) followed by a well taken goal from Cathal Moriarty saw us carry a 1-05 to 0-05 lead into the half time interval. Ballymac’s first half points came from Aidan Breen (0-3), Vinnie Horan (0-1) and Daire Keane (0-1).
In the second half, Ballymac raised a green flag inside the opening minutes when an Aidan Breen free dropped into the square and ended up in the Milltown/Castlemaine net. Scores were exchanged between the teams for the remainder of the encounter with no more than one point separating the teams on any occasion.
Aidan Breen and Vinnie Horan kept the Ballymac side in front as we entered the final quarter but Cathal Moriarty and Dara Hogan ensured that the points would be shared. On the balance of play and considering both sides had chances at various stages, it was a fair reflection of the contest and both sides will be content taking a point each.

Milltown Bowling Club:
New Year, New hobby.
Want to try something new and fun then come along to Milltown Nagle Rice community centre and have a go at short mat bowls.
All you need is just a pair of comfortable shoes for two hours of gently rolling bowls along a 1.8 meter wide x 12 meter long mat.
A timber block is placed midway along the mat and the aim of the game is to roll a bowl along the mat, avoiding the block and touching a yellow ball called the “Jack” at the opposite end.
A wooden fender is placed at both ends to keep the bowls from rolling off the mat end.
Nearest bowl to the Jack after 9 ends scores, the more of your bowls closer than your opponent the more you score.
All training and guidance will be provided along with the use of club bowls to get you started.
Once you get going then we have league and cup competitions, friendly individual and group matches along with the opportunity to play other clubs within Kerry.
Sounds simple!!!
Well the only way to find out is to come along and have a go.
First night is free and it’s only a fiver then per night for two hours of fun and learning to play one of the fastest growing indoor sports for all age groups in Ireland.
Milltown bowls club looks forward to seeing you on Tuesday and Friday nights at 8pm.

Milltown/Castlemaine Video Race Night 2023
A video race night will be held in Griffins Bar & Restaurant Castlemaine on Friday, December 29th. Finger food will be served and tote betting will be available on the night.
The club is seeking sponsors for the individual races as well as owners for the horses.
This is always a great post-festive season night out so we look forward to as many members from our community joining us again this year.
It is the end of another successful year for our club, both on and off the field. However, we need your support to continue to provide excellent facilities to our members, especially our children. Running costs exceed €50k per annum , which we need to fund within our club, as no funding comes from the County Board or Croke Park. Membership is part of our income but the other main source, like a lot of clubs, is our Club Lotto. This year to promote the lotto again, we have a promotion in conjunction with our race night
Our aim is to have all families who enjoy the club facilities to have a lotto ticket. We urge all members to please support this fundraiser and help keep our club going in the right direction. We have 30+ volunteers calling to their lists of people but it will be impossible to call to all. A great social night is guaranteed at our Race Night with fantastic prizes on 29th December in Griffins BAr, Castlemaine. We hope to see as many as possible on the night, to watch their horses in action.
Please see details below of how you can sign up to support your club. ️
Christmas Greetings:
Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to wish all our club members a very Merry Christmas and every good for the New Year! Our club is indebted to the many volunteers who give so selflessly of their time to oversee the running of the club on an annual basis. Trojan work goes on behind the scenes in every community organisation and this dedication is paramount to the success of our club on and off the field. 2023 has now almost reached its conclusion and we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has contributed in any small way to the success of the club over the past year.
We have so many coaches, stewards, lotto ticket sellers, executive members, shop assistants, medical personnel, sponsors, kit organisers, caretakers, and everything in-between that allow all our teams to perform to the very best of their ability. Your support makes all the difference. We look forward to keeping the momentum going into the New Year and beyond. Míle Buíochas.
Nollaig Shona agus Bliain Nua mhaith daoibh go léir!

AIB Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship: Semi-Final Result
Milltown/Castlemaine 0-10
Cill na Martra 0-13
Venue: Cill na Martra GAA Grounds, Cork.
Referee: Derek O’Mahoney (Tipperary)
Hard luck to our Milltown/Castlemaine Senior Football team and management who fell to a three point defeat in Cork on Sunday afternoon in the AIB Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship Semi-Final against Cill na Martra. Our lads trailed 0-6 to 0-4 at half time and whilst we did put over the first three scores of the second half to take the lead, the hosts kept getting their noses in front at crucial stages.
The teams were level at 0-9 to 0-9 approaching the final quarter and it was 0-11 to 0-10 after 55 minutes but two late scores from the Cork side saw them advance to a Munster Final meeting with Mungret of Limerick.
We are so very proud of all our lads achievements over the course of the campaign. It just wasn’t to be last weekend. The season is still not over as the Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship Semi-Final will take place this weekend against Keel.
Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship: Semi-Final Fixture
Milltown/Castlemaine will meet Keel in the 2023 Mid Kerry Senior Football Championship Semi-Final on Sunday, December 3rd at 12 noon in the Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown. All support is welcome.

Well done to all involved with the girls throughout the season – the fantastic team of coaches and supportive parents…it was a super year of fun football. We are already looking forward to 2024 🙂
Condolences:
All involved in Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to pass on our sincere condolences to the family of the late Jimmy Herlihy of Monastery Gardens, Milltown and formerly of Kiltallagh, Castlemaine.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy’s family and friends at this most difficult time.

Mid Kerry Minor Football Championship: Final Result and Match Summary
Milltown/Castlemaine 2-08
Laune Rangers 0-10
Venue: Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown
Referee: Thomas Harold (Beaufort)
Milltown/Castlemaine were crowned Mid Kerry Minor Football Champions last Sunday afternoon after a super victory against Laune Rangers at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park in Milltown before a large attendance.
The foundations for this outstanding win were set in the opening half as Milltown/Castlemaine played with a strong wind and built up a commanding lead by the interval with Dara Hogan winning and scoring a penalty, he also tagged on three points and other pointed efforts from James Dempsey, Michael Lynch and Eoghan Bolger, all top notch scores from play gave the hosts a 1-06 to 0-01 lead heading into half time as Laune Rangers only first half point came from Stephen Gannon.
Laune Rangers were fast out of the blocks in the second half and two quick fire points from Adam O’Neill and John Horgan had the deficit reduced to 1-06 to 0-03. Probably the most crucial score of the match came next however as Milltown/Castlemaine’s Michael Lynch split the Killorglin sides defence wide open with a scintillating run and he held his composure to rattle the net. Dara Hogan followed this goal with a pointed free off the ground and all of a sudden the lead was now 2-07 to 0-03. Laune Rangers kept plugging away and applied maximum pressure on the home side with five points on the trot from Tomás Joy, Adam O’Neill and Darragh Clifford to leave it 2-7 to 0-8 after 47 minutes. Milltown/Castlemaine were in need of a score desperately to stem the momentum Laune Rangers had built up and Dara Hogan answered their call with a beauty off his left leg on the dressing room side to leave it 2-08 to 0-08. It would prove to be the hosts final score and try as they might, Laune Rangers were only able to muster two further points from Darragh Clifford as Milltown/Castlemaine’s rearguard held firm and they were able to prevent the visitors from creating any goal chances.
Congratulations to the team and management on a brilliant performance and victory which wraps up their 2023 season.
Sponsors: Thank You
Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our club sponsors ahead of the big match on Sunday, November 19th at 2:30pm in Austin Stack Park, Tralee.

Mid Kerry Minor Football Championship: Semi-Final Result and Final Fixture
Milltown/Castlemaine 2-10
Keel/Listry 0-14
Venue: Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown
Referee: Jonathan Griffin (Glenbeigh/Glencar)
Congratulations to the Milltown/Castlemaine Minor team and management who advanced to the Mid Kerry Final on Saturday afternoon following a nail-biting two point victory over near neighbours Keel/Listry at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park in Milltown in challenging underfoot conditions for both sides due to the recent inclement weather.
Milltown/Castlemaine carried a four point lead into half time as two all important first half goals from Dara Hogan and Eoghan Corbett gave them a 2-04 to 0-06 advantage. The only other scorer during the half for the hosts was Gearóid Quirke as he put over a lovely point off his left from play.
Keel/Listry battled back in the second half and as the game approached the closing stages the visitors levelled the contest at 0-14 to 2-08. Milltown/Castlemaine’s six second half points all came from the boot of Dara Hogan and with three minutes of injury time added on by referee Jonathan Griffin it was to Hogan that the home side once again turned to and he delivered by landing two superb scores from distance to propel his side to a two point victory and taking his own personal tally for the day to a hugely impressive 1-8.
A great result by the lads who were three points down at one stage of the match. They have now taken victories against Beaufort, Glenbeigh/Glencar/Cromane and Keel/Listry in this seasons Mid Kerry Championship.

McElligott Cup: Final Result and Match Report
Milltown/Castlemaine ‘B’ 0-12
Currow ‘B’ 1-08
Venue: Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown
Referee: Patrick Dowling (Ballyduff)
Congratulations to our Junior team and management who concluded their 2023 season on Saturday afternoon at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park in Milltown with a narrow victory against Currow in wet and windy conditions in the McElligott Cup Shield Final.
The encounter was due to be played in Ballymac and then in Farranfore but both pitches were deemed unplayable. The Paddy Burke Memorial Park was in splendid condition on Saturday it must be acknowledged which is a great credit to all involved in the upkeep of the facility given the recent inclement weather.
Currow won the toss and opted to play with a very strong breeze in the opening half. They opened the scoring almost immediately when John Buckley pointed from play on the turn in the first minute. Jonathan O’Sullivan with a close range free and Donal Kelliher with a peach of a score, curling a ball over the bar from the stand side had Milltown/Castlemaine leading 0-2 to 0-1 after 5 minutes.
The visitors had the lead back by the 10th minute thanks to a Darragh Kelly free and John McMahon point from play. Jonathan O’Sullivan and John Buckley then exchanged scores at either end to leave the away side in front 0-4 to 0-3 by the midway point of the half. Given the conditions the hosts would have been relatively pleased to be keeping in touch against the elements.
John McMahon and an in-form Jonathan O’Sullivan swapped frees again in the 20th and 23rd minutes of the first half just before the stalwart that is Donal Kelliher landed another simply incredible point, this time off his left to draw the two sides level at 0-5 to 0-5 by the 25th minute. There would only be one further score in the opening half and it came from the boot of Currow sharpshooter John McMahon on 27 minutes to leave the narrowest of margins between the teams at half time with Currow leading 0-6 to 0-5.
The second half was almost a carbon copy of the first as little separated the sides as the half wore on, although Currow did succeed in frustrating the hosts, keeping them scoreless for the opening thirteen minutes and raising a green flag at the opposite end when John McMahon buried to the back of Dara O’Connor’s net on 37 minutes opening up a four point lead in the process, the biggest gap all day at 1-6 to 0-5.
This was the second goal opportunity they created in a matter of minutes with O’Connor saving the first chance from a substitute on the away side but there was no stopping the second chance minutes later.
Milltown /Castlemaine’s metal was being well and truly tested from here on in and they showed tremendous character to respond with three points on the bounce between the 43rd and 46th minutes respectively with substitute Cian O’Connor leading the charge with a brilliant long range score before another substitute with no shortage of experience, Derek Twiss knocked two frees over to leave it 1-6 to 0-8 in favour of Currow.
Currow veteran John Buckley fisted over an important score for the visitors on the 49th minute to stretch their lead to two again at 1-7 to 0-8 leaving the hosts needing a big final quarter to turn the contest around and they duly obliged.
Cian O’Connor with another superb effort from play reduced the gap to one before Derek Twiss levelled the sides on 55 minutes after Oisin Spring was fouled close in. Jonathan O’Sullivan who went off early in the second half re-entered the fray late on and it proved to be a masterstroke as he pushed Milltown/Castlemaine into the lead almost instantly with a fine point from play to make it 0-11 to 1-07.
Currow weren’t done however as a late foray up the field yielded dividends when John Buckley put over a close range free to tie the sides once more at 0-11 to 1-08.
As we went deep into injury time and extra time loomed large on the horizon, that man again Jonathan O’Sullivan showed nerves of steel to first win the ball, then win a free about 30 metres out and most importantly convert the opportunity to give Milltown/Castlemaine a hard fought victory on a final score of 0-12 to 1-08 in favour of the home side.
After the match, Milltown/Castlemaine captain Adam Scanlon was presented with the winning plaque for winning the 2023 McElligott Cup Shield and he thanked the management team of Colin McKenna and Henry Scanlon for their Trojan work and commitment with the Junior team all year.
The team played around 20 games between County League, Mid Kerry and the McElligott Cup and Shield which is a great achievement. Adam thanked the match officials for doing a great job, Currow for being such sporting opponents and to all the Junior players for their fantastic effort over the course of the season which started over 6 months ago.
Well done lads, a great end to an enjoyable season. Thanks to everyone who supported the team in any way throughout the year. We’ll do it all again in 2024! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

U11 Boys:
On Saturday, July 29th our U11 boys team travelled to the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick GAA to take part in the regional Munster GAA blitz.
⬜ Before the action started, the boys were treated to a Stadium Tour and got to experience the dressing rooms and video analysis area before the tour finished in the press box overlooking the ground with Limerick Senior Footballer, Peter Nash, giving a superb overview of the match day experience.
In the Gaelic Grounds we played five competitive games against Tramore (Waterford), St. Josephs Milltown Malbay (Clare), Emly (Tipperary), Liscannor (Clare) and Broadford (Limerick); before moving onto Adare GAA, where we played two games against the host club. Thanks to Fionnan Kelliher for organising the games.
The team stopped in the Fitzgeralds Woodlands House Hotel & Spa on the way home for food and ice-cream which kept the energy levels up on the journey home. Thanks to all at the hotel for reserving huts for the players so they could enjoy their food together and discuss the day’s play.
Thanks also to Pat O’Shea, Donal Daly and all the team in Munster GAA for organising such a wonderful event, A day that the players will remember for some time.
Finally, well done to our young players and their parents and management, for once again representing our club with great distinction and honour.
Congratulations: Wedding Bells!
All at Milltown/Castlemaine GAA would like to send our heartiest congratulations and well wishes for the future to Brendan and Clodagh Delaney (née Shannon) who got married on Saturday in Tipperary.
