It was a “Carlsberg Saturday” for Barry Baggley as he watched his son score a worldie for Fleetwood before taking a phone call just moments later to hear Rosario were promoted.
The Roses boss says he was too superstitious to head down with his players to Millisle, where they needed Abbey Villa to win in order to prevent Kilmore leapfrogging them on the final day of 1A.
Jonathan Busby’s men did exactly that, bringing the curtain down with a fifth straight league win, but Baggley didn’t want to hear about it until the final whistle, preferring instead to stream Barry junior’s game.
