Geordies and Mills to contest Hospital Cup Final

by isleofman.com 29th April 2013

Manx football’s end of season showpiece will be contested by holders St George’s and Union Mills.

The Millers caused a surprise last night (Sunday) when they defeated Old Boys on penalties in the semi-final of the BCS Vinyl Hospital Cup.

The match at Blackberry Lane had finished 2-2 after extra-time.

Stephen Halsall and Richard Cannell had twice fired Union Mills ahead only for Old Boys – who played much of extra-time with 10 men – to hit back through David Quirk and Darren Hudgeon.

However, the Millers held their nerve in the shoot-out to book a date at the Bowl on May 19.

There they will play league champions St George’s who saw off St Mary’s 3-1 to gain revenge for their FA Cup final defeat earlier this month.

Frank Jones, Chris Bass and Ciaran McNulty got the goals with Liam Doyle replying for the Saints.
