NOEL Gillespie takes Milford United to McGarvey Park on Sunday for an Area semi-final in the Brian McCormick Cup after his side saw off Ratmullan Celtic on penalties on Wednesday night.
After a 1-1 draw in Moyle View Park, it was Gillespie’s Milford (pictured above) who held sway on the spot kicks, winning a dramatic shoot-out 8-7.
Gillespie was delighted to get off to winning ways.
“For the first game of the season it was very competitive with some hard hitting,” he told Donegal Sport Hub.
“Both teams gave it their all.
“I’m happy with the performance and happy with the work rate because some of those boys haven’t played much together.
“Hopefully this will springboard the season and we can reach the Area final now to set us up for the start of the League.”
