Wasteful Pat’s denied at the death by McMullan

LAST year’s beaten Setanta Cup finalists St Pat’s bowed out at the first hurdle as they passed up more than enough chances to overturn a 3-0 first leg deficit at Richmond Park.

A David McMillan goal with 10 minutes remaining, to put them 2-0 up on the night, provided a grandstand finish, but Cliftonville held out to reach the quarter-finals.

George McMullan, who scored two of their goals in the first leg, proved the Cliftonville hero again with a dramatic goal-line clearance from Derek Doyle on 88 minutes.
