Kilbrittain ease past Milford challenge

A TAME capitulation by Milford, after an encouraging start, saw Kilbrittain scorch into the Evening Echo Cork Co IHC quarter final at sun-kissed Blarney yesterday.

With centre-back Ronan Geary and their twin strike force of Eoin Dillon and Niall Geary hitting the high spots early on, Milford more than held their own. But snap goals from Alan Hayes and David McSweeney within 60 seconds just before the interval break turned the tide in Kilbrittain’s favour.

Milford, with two fast points from Niall Geary and Michael O’Connor, powered their way into the lead within five minutes of the start. But Kilbrittain gradually found their feet and two points from Dan O’Connell levelled things at the end of the first quarter.
