Milford GAA News
*New Club App Launched*
The Club is delighted to announce we now have our own Club App. Download this FREE app to get all the latest Club news and info direct to your phone or tablet.
You can pick and choose what info you get, whether it is all Club news to whether it is only U16 Ladies information to whether it is just to be kept updated on your childs U10 blitzes and training.
The app will also notify you directly of all major news, results, fixtures and events that you might miss or forget seeing on the Club Facebook and Twitter pages.
There is also a chat forums feature in which anyone can discuss Club activities, as well as links to our social media pages and website if you have never been on them.
Managers can also use the app to stay in touch with their players, informing them of training schedules and matches directly, sending one notification instead of multiple text messages.
The app provides all the latest news, lotto results, fixtures, results and latest scores right at your finger tips as well as a club shop from which you can also purchase the club lotto as well as the Club gear, especially handy for our former players and members around the world who still want to support the Club.
And also coming after the AGM will be the ability to pay your Club membership through the handiness of the app and ensure you guarantee your 2015 All Ireland Final tickets (fingers crossed!)

*CLG BnaG to Host Scor Semi Final*

*Intermediate Championship Play Off Semi Final*
CLG BnaG 0-8 Naomh Colmcille 0-12
The Seniors were left feeling disappointed and frustrated after Saturdays defeat to Naomh Colmcille in Killygordon. The Gallowglasses would have rathered get the win and ensure Intermediate Championship football next year but as it stands they will have to play near neighbours Downings in a playoff final on a date to be determined. The lads got off to a poor start to the game, going 0-4 to 0-1 down after ten minutes, although the wet and windy conditions in Killygordon made life difficult. There were no administrative errors from the referee as Ian Molloy correctly gave Newtowns Ryan McKinley a red card after he was black carded for a Peter Stringer-esque heel tap on Christopher Barrett, having already being booked early in the game. This came after 27 minutes but Newtown still led at half time 0-5 to 0-2. With the extra man, and the wind at their backs for the second half, the lads performance improved, but unfortunately they were guilty of being very wasteful of possession at times and also unlucky with their chances. They had numerous decent goal chances and on another day with a bit more luck could have won this game comfortably if one or two of these chances had of came off. With 15 minutes there was only one point between the sides but Newtown were always a danger on the counter and got vital scores at key times as Na Galloglaigh kept battling to get back into the game. A second Newtown defender was black carded with ten minutes remaining before Conor McNulty got his marching orders for a second yellow to leave the teams at 14 men a piece, despite the game itself not being all that particularly rough. Naomh Colmcille got 2 more points late on to leave 4 between the sides at the final whistle to set up an all or nothing derby with Downings. Team: Sean Gallagher, Gary Merritt, Sean Black, Gavin Grier, Conor McNulty (0-2), Jonny Logue, Tj Evesson (0-1), Luc O Bairead, Joey Cullen, Pauric Curley, Christopher Barrett (0-1), James Doyle, Paddy Peoples, Cathal Mc Gettigan (0-4), David Curley. Subs: Enda McHugh, Cormac Friel, Caolan Mc Gettigan, Kieran Sheridan, Paul Grier, Gearoid Horkan, Manus Boyce
