JAHC: Newmarket 3-22 Millstreet 2-23 (AET)
There was an unbelievable finish to this round two Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship game between Millstreet and Newmarket. Level going into the second half of extra time, Newmarket notched up three unanswered points. Despite much effort, all seemed lost for Millstreet until Mark Ellis goaled from a 21 yard free with a minute to go. He immediately returned the puck-out over the bar and it looked like Millstreet were set to win a game that had swung from side to side, but the next Newmarket puckout went long down the field and a shimozzle on the 21 saw the Newmarket forward break away with the ball and fire to the net. The match was over and Newmarket had won by two points.
The match had started even enough as the sides traded points. Newmarket looked to have more strength and running but had a lot of [read more …] “JAHC: Newmarket 3-22 Millstreet 2-23 (AET)”

“Irish Echo” in New York Refers to Millstreet Website Feature
Fr. Paddy O’Byrne, West End has just been in touch with us in relation to an article that John D. Neenan has read in New York’s “Irish Post” newspaper. The article refers to the excellent “scoop” feature which Michael Cashman of our website team shared some weeks ago when he gave the impression that the two famous American people who were on honeymoon in Ireland had arrived in Millstreet Town Park and were on the way to trace their Aunagloor roots at Millstreet Museum! (click the photo above to see the article) The couple did in fact visit Ireland but unfortunately there was no sign of them in Millstreet … except in Michael’s hugely popular photoshopping expertise giving the real impression that they had landed in Millstreet a few weeks ago! Thank you, Fr. Paddy and John D. for alerting us to such an uplifting and truly prestigious mention of the Millstreet website in the “Irish Echo”. And well done to Michael for such creative wit. One never knows who could be visiting www.millstreet.ie ! (S.R.)

Munster Hurling Final – Best of Luck to Mark
The very best of luck to Mark Ellis who has been named again at centre back (#6) in the Cork team to play Limerick in the Munster Senior Hurling Final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday at 4pm. It was a great surprise because it had been widely reported up to Thursday that wouldn’t play because his knee injury hadn’t righted itself in time.
Hopefully Mark will play as well as he has in the previous matches, and that he’ll come off the field in one piece at the end with a Munster medal, in what is the last game before Páirc Uí Chaoimh is redeveloped. [read more …] “Munster Hurling Final – Best of Luck to Mark”
