Milltown-Castlemaine News
Milltown-Castlemaine 5-11 Listowel Emmets 0-10. It was a long but fruitful journey to Pairc Mhic Shithigh, Listowel and Milltown-Castlemaine travelled in the knowledge that a victory would push them top of Division 2 after a victory against Currow in Round 1 and a Draw away to Ballymac in Round 2.
Listowel Emmets were coming into the fixture on the back of a morale boosting championship win against Annascaul which helped them preserve their Junior Championship status.
It was to prove a game of two halves with Listowel Emmets leading at half-time but the visitors strolled to victory and, most importantly, the two points in the second half after five goals seen the tie swing decisively in their favour.
