Thursday night saw the top two teams in the Hockomock Davenport face off for a game which would determine the Davenport Championship. It was an amazing high school soccer game but, in the end, Milford would score a goal in the final minutes to grab the 2018 league title.
The 'dogs went into the game two points behind the Scarlett Hawks- thus needing a win to grab a piece of first place. The first half saw the Bulldogs control territory, possession and chances but the only time they found the back of the net, the goal was called back. Simon Cruz played a great ball through to Griffin Roach, who buried the chance, but Cruz had been taken out while making the pass and a whistle ended the play as the ball went by the Scarlett Hawk goalkeeper.
The game was scoreless heading into the 2nd half but there would be 5 goals from that point on. The 'dogs scored first when Paul Corcoran's free kick from 35 yards out froze the Milford keeper and found its way into the back of the net. The lead would only last for 90 seconds as Milford came right back up and converted a long throw-in. The 'dogs would then fall behind 2-1 on a scrum in the Bulldog box that ended up with the ball in the back of the Bulldog goal. Simon Cruz would convert on a Corcoran long throw to tie the game up with 15 to go, but the 'dogs ran out of steam as Milford controlled the final 10 minutes and scored on a nice shot late in the game. Final score- Milford 3, Canton 2.
The Bulldogs will end their regular season campaign on Sunday when they host Foxboro on Senior Night.
