Spills and thrills as mighty Milford fend off late St Vincent’s onslaught
That the game was played at all was a tribute to the Killavullen club who worked tirelessly to clear the water from the pitch and then were almost thwarted by a torrential downpour in the lead up to the game that left pools of water across the pitch.
Referee Cathal McAlister, after an inspection, decided to start the game and, while there were times when he had to stop play when the sliotar became submerged, the spectators were treated to an enthralling mixture of thrills and spills before Milford, going into the final five minutes with a five-point lead, were left hanging on for dear life when hit by an injury time onslaught from St Vincent’s.
