The Diamond Sisters

2008 - Breeda and Marie Moynihan (the Diamond Sisters) with their dad Peter

Do not know how their name of The Diamond Sisters came about
Though of their great talent there is not a doubt
Despite this two attractive women untainted by conceit
Peter Moynihan’s daughters The Pride of Millstreet

The famed Diamond Sisters are known far and wide
Beyond the border of Duhallow’s green old countryside
Wherever they perform joy with them they bring
And no shortage of fans where The Diamonds do sing

Glenthorn 2 – Millstreet Celtic 3

We beat Glenthorn 3-2 away from home today. Glenthorn started the game much better than us and took the lead after 10 mins. They had a couple of more half chances before we started to get into it after around 25 mins. We had a couple of good chances through Danny O Riordan and Tadhg Collins before Paul Dawson forced the keeper into making an excellent save. It stayed 1-0 to half time but we came out a lot stronger in the 2nd half.
Almost immediately Collins had a good chance and another followed for Chris Cleary. It took us until the 65th min to get back level. A Tim Kiely free kick from the left wing evaded both defenders and attackers before bouncing to the corner of the net. We were well on top now and Trevor O Connor almost gave us the lead when he volleyed just over from a Dawson corner. Our second goal came in [read more …] “Glenthorn 2 – Millstreet Celtic 3”
