A typically determined and committed Newmarket display just fell short as Kerry champions Milltown Castlemaine emerged victorious with three points to spare, 1-9 to 1-6 in the Munster Intermediate Football Championship semi final played before a huge attendance, on a grey November, afternoon at the Mallow GAA Sports Complex.
Newmarket open their Munster Intermediate Football Championship campaign this Sunday in Mallow against Miltown-Castlemaine of Kerry.
The match, which starts at 2pm, is a Munster semi final, with the winners playing Dungarvan (Waterford) or Mullinahone (Tipperary) for the provincial title.
So it’s time to get the flags out again and show the massive support that the team is accustomed to, as it bids to continue making history.
