Under 14’s: Congratulations to our Under 14’s (sponsored by Norman Foley Spar and John Burke-Butchers) on their fantastic victory over An Ghaeltacht on Monday evening last in Castlegregory. Ian, Colin, John and Damien have done tremendous work with this group of players over the past while and all their hard work was well rewarded. The parents also deserve great credit for their wonderful support throughout the campaign. There was much excitement when Captain Cillian Burke (son of senior player Mike Burke) returned to Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Clubhouse on Monday night with his team mates. The players and parents were treated to some delicious refreshments at the homecoming. Special thanks to Podge, Caroline and Damian McCarthy along with Eileen Spring for organising the homecoming and to Alma’s for delivering the tasty hot food to the club house.

Junior Team:

Our junior team also had a fantastic victory on Friday last, when they overcame An Ghaeltacht in a thrilling game in Annascaul, in the Junior County League Final. The final score was MC: 2:15, An Ghaeltacht-2:08. Captain Donal Dennehy accepted the shield on behalf of the jubilant team. Well done to the management team of Fr. Kevin, Linus, Ger and Brendan Dennehy for all their work with this team.
