Millstreet Celtic 4 Coachford 0

Report by Tim Kiely: We beat Coachford 4-0 this afternoon to move to the top of the table. We got off to a flyer and were ahead after just 5 minutes. A ball out of defense from Tim Kiely put Tadhg Collins clear on goal and he finished confidently. We kept pressing and forced a number of saves from their keeper through Collins and Chris Cleary. It was Cleary who made it 2-0 after 25 mins. Michael Murphy picked up the ball wide on the right and whipped it across to the waiting Cleary whose first time strike found the corner of the net. We kept up the pressure but went at half time just the 2 up. The second half was a bit more even at the start but [read more …] “Millstreet Celtic 4 Coachford 0”

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1056 from Millstreet

 

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this  beautiful sunny calm Tuesday morning.

 

Full marks to Seanie Murphy and Matt Neville  who organised the highly successful St. Patricks Day Parade in Carriganima on Sunday, and well done to all the people from all walks of life who arrived with a wide variety of  artefacts to take part. From live-stock to motorised  bicycles, vintage, comic acts ,the list goes on .There was a fine crowd. They were blessed with beautiful weather and the pleasant music of the Threshing Mill Boys echoed off the surrounding hills. This is the sort of thing that we need to lift our people out of the doldrums.

So well done Seanie & Matt.

LTV was there and more details will appear on future programs.

 

Still with Carriganima on this Friday night there will be an all girls party in the Pub, a sort of Women’s Christmas in March. All girls welcome.
