O’Connell’s late strike sees Milford meet Fr O’Neill’s

SEANIE O’CONNELL proved the scoring hero for Milford last night as his 58th minute point was a match winner when they advanced past Barryroe at Páirc Uí Rinn.

It was fitting that O’Connell clipped over the vital point from the left wing as he atoned for some wayward shots in the first-half. The success propels Milford to a semi-final meeting with Fr O’Neill’s and turns their season around in remarkable fashion. Milford lost their opening two games in this year’s championship, including a second round defeat to Barryroe, but battled back and gained revenge for the earlier loss to the Carbery side last night.

The match tight throughout with Barryroe controlling the first-half as they led 1-6 to 0-4 at the break and Milford dominating the second-half as they sought to move back into contention.
