Millstreet edge out Blackwater

Millstreet maintained their grip of the Duhallow U21AFC after a two point win over Blackwater Gaels at Boherbue yesterday.

As heavyweight clashes go, the meeting of these close rivals didn’t disappoint the large attendance from serving up a cracking encounter. At the end of the hour, Millstreet’s composure under pressure and better accuracy ultimately proved the difference.

With the sides deadlocked on six occasions in the opening half, Millstreet scorched into the lead after Michael Vaughan tucked home a penalty. The Cullen and Lyre amalgamation raised the stakes from the solid efforts of William O’Keeffe, Kevin Tarrant, Keith McGeough and Tomás O’Keeffe.
