Milford 2-15
Termon 1-16
Finn Coll was the toast of Milford on Sunday evening after he scored a late goal to snatch a dramatic win over Termon in Moyle View Park.
The versatile Coll struck for the second of the Milford three-pointers with the clock ticking on the hour mark and with Termon clinging on to a two-point lead.
And it was second-half substitute Kane Barrett who brought the curtain down on a high-octane encounter with the game's closing point for a two-point victory.
Rory O’Donnell scored the other Milford goal and Cathal McGettigan kicked five points each for the Sky Blues.
Enda McComrick was in fine scoring form for the men from the Burn Road, with the former county panelist hitting six points. Cian McMenamin scored the goal and Daire McDaid, Patrick Fagan, Jack Alcorn, Ricky Gallagher, Bobby McGettigan, John James Sweeney and Steve McDaid all posted points for Termon.
The win, which was Milford’s first over Termon in eight seasons, means James McGinley’s men have leapfrogged Termon in the Division Two league table.
Milford is now up to third place, two points adrift of second-placed Four Masters and five behind table toppers and unbeaten Killybegs while Termon are one point behind Milford.
