Richmond 3 Millstreet Celtic 4
We beat Richmond 4-3 away from home this morning to record our sixth win in a row. The first 20 mins of the game were very scrappy with both teams finding it hard to find space on a tight pitch. Richmond took the lead in the 30th min after a defensive mistake but we hit back just 5 mins later. Tim Kiely floated in a free kick which was glanced home by Tadhg Collins. Neither side was creating much but another error at the back gave Richmond the lead just before half time. We started the 2nd half in much better fashion and got the equaliser after 55 mins. Paul Dawson released Collins and he out-muscled the defender before firing high into the net. We were well into our stride now and went ahead in the 65th min. Chris Cleary played the ball down the line for Brian Murphy who beat two defenders along the end line before [read more …] “Richmond 3 Millstreet Celtic 4”

Michael Sweeny was born Millstreet Workhouse on the 25th July 1865. His parents were Margaret Creedon and John Sweeny who shortly after came to live in Brentford, England where they had a further two children, Cornelius (1867) and Margaret (1870), my grandmother.
Another child, Johanna Sweeny, had been born in Cork in 1859 but [read more …] “Genealogy: Sweeney / Creedon”
Rathcoole Rovers 0 Millstreet Celtic 4
We beat Rathcoole on an impressive score line of 4-0 yesterday evening in the St Michaels Cup. We started very well; with almost our first attack, we were awarded a penalty when Michael Murphy was tripped inside the box after making a great run from midfield. Tadgh Collins stepped up and confidently slotted home our opener. Just five minutes later we were up two, when Finbarr Corcoran split the Rathcoole defence with a fantastic long pass to find Brian Murphy who squared the ball to Michael Murphy and he was again hacked down inside the box giving us our second penalty. Collins converted again with a cracking strike to the top of the net to make it two. Late in the [read more …] “Rathcoole Rovers 0 Millstreet Celtic 4”
