Seniors:After holding a slender lead of 5 points to 4 over Milltown at half-time, Claregalway could add only 2 points to their tally in the second half and as a consequence lostthe County Championship match played at Tuam Stadium on Sunday last. The score was 0-11 to 0-7. Claregalway got on top at mid-field early on and with a good supply of the ball, points by Martin Kelly (free) and Ronan Flynn gave them a lead of 2 points to no score on 10 minutes. It should have been more because several scoring chances were created. Joe Kearney sent over an excellent point from 40 yards but Milltown responded with 3 points to tie the scores after 25 minutes. Paul McGuinness and Martin Kelly added a point each and just before the break Danny Cummins' shot hit the upright and drifted wide. Soon after the resumption James Nallen moved to centre half after David Heaney retired injured and Milltown then gradually took control around centre field. But when Adrian Faherty pointed a 40 yard free and Martin Kelly added a well taken point when he collected a cross field ball from Adrian to again tie the scores, 7 points each, 15 minutes into the half, it looked as if the trend of play had turned in Claregalway's favour. But from thereon it was Milltown who got the scores, a pointed free and 3 points from play. Standing in for the injured Anthony Watson, Stephen Cunniffe at full back did well and Joe Kearney's display at wing back stood out.Team: Brian O'Donoghue, Brian Loughlin, Stephen Cunniffe(capt.), Joe Garrett, Joe Kearney, David Heaney, John Paul O'Connell, James Nallen, Barry Cullinane, Ronan O'Flynn , Paul McGuiness, Adrian Faherty, Enda O'Connell, Martin Kelly, Danny Cummins.
