Banbridge staged an incredible comeback to reach the Anderson Cup semi-final on Tuesday night, defeating Kilkeel 7-0 at Havelock Park to progress 9-8 on aggregate.

Trailing 8-2 from the first leg when they fielded a second string, Bann will now meet Cookstown in next Tuesday’s last four tie.

Meanwhile, Garvey can lift the EYHL regulation season title for the second time on Wednesday night if they beat Annadale in Hillsborough (8pm).
