A POINT by Ronan Geary a minute into injury time earned Milford a draw in this thrilling Evening Echo County IHC tie at Ballyhooley yesterday.
Ballymartle rue misses as Geary  rescues Milford

It was no more than the North Cork side deserved. With limited resources, they showed tremendous heart and commitment to come from five points down late in the first half, then to go two in front midway through the second half, before falling behind to a succession of Ballymartle points before Geary came to their rescue with the equalising score in the 62nd minute.

Ballymartle will forever wonder how they lost this game. Inspired by the brilliance of Rory Dwyer at midfield, they hit Milford with five points in a row to take a commanding lead at the end of the opening quarter, but conceded two goals and began to struggle in the face of the Blues onslaught.
