1 - 14 Castlemartyr 1 - 10
Aghada were always in control of the first half but squandered a
lot of opportunities and Castlemartyr were always within touching
distance. Stephen O Keeffe was a revelation in that period displaying
great artistry. Midfielder John Connolly was proving to be deadly
accurate from placed balls and corner forward Derek Bowler was a
real hand full for the reds defence. Aghada led at half time 7 points
to 4. On the resumption Aghada extended their lead with John Walls
goal and points from Bowler and Aiden Cotter. Castlemartyr then
awoke from their slumber and produced a heroic comeback scoring
1 - 6 in the final 20 minutes but Aghada's greater resolve won the
day with Pa Sisk, Cathal O Gorman, Alan Devoy and Willie O Donoghue
dominant forces and an inspirational point from the strong running
Kieran O Connor sealing a deserved win for the boys in green. Team

35 minutes to get to get into this game when John Connelly solo
broke open the Sarsfields defence when he added a goal to the 5
points he had scored up to then Aghada only other score came from

added one. With the half backline on top Cathal O'Gormain been outstanding
for the hour, Kenneth O'Keeffe improved as the game went on. more

Russell Rovers 1-7
For the second year running we departed the B Championship at the
semi final stage.
Leading by 0-5 to no score at half time after playing with a strong
wind. This was Aghada's best period yet we never made use of the
ball we had. John Wall was making great inroads at wing forward
and scored a great point while Adian Cotter mastered centre field
Steven O'Keeffe found it hard going but still put over two points.
John Connelly added two more one from a free to finish the half's
scoring. Facing into the wind Wall scored his second point and things
looked rosie. Kevin Hartnett (Cork Minor) hit Russell Rovers 1st
point Adian Cotter replied for Aghada. Our backs were now under
pressure while Sean O'Keeffe cleared ball after ball Aghada couldn't
score and we had plenty chances .The Rovers Backline were well on
top. Russell Rovers now dominated play riffling over 5 points with
out reply. Sub Steven O'Donoghue scored a great point to restore
Aghada's lead with minutes left then disaster along ball behind
the defence, a touch, and a goal, The Rovers lead for the 1st time
in the game. Now Aghada came alive but wasted many chances trying
for goal when a point would have done John Connelly finally put
the ball over the bar but time ran out. team

Sat 14th Dec Junior B hurling league final Aghada 3-7 Erins Own
1-10.
Last Saturday our Junior B hurlers captured the division 3 league
title after a great game with Erins Own. Played on a cold dark day
in Rostellan we showed once again the fine form and commitment that
had been show all year as we outscored an impressive Erins Own Team.
Playing against the wind in the first halve we started well and
were matching Erins Own score for score with John Connolly striking
over some impressive points. The breakthrough came after about 20
mins when we got 2 goals in the space of a couple of minutes. The
first came from Stephen O Donoghue who pressures the goalkeeper
into a mistake and he finished the ball to the top corner of the
net. A minute later he turned provider with a great ball for the
very sharp Tony Wall who gave the keeper no chance with a great
strike from the 14.The first halve finished with John Wall scoring
a fine point on the run. Half time Aghada 2-4 Erins Own 0-6. The
second half was a very tight contest with both teams trading points
John Connolly again the scorer for Aghada. A bad Injury to Stephen
O Donoghue Led to big brother Paul coming on and with his first
touch he scored a great point. It was nip and tuck from then on
until Derek Bowler came on and scored a great individual goal in
injury time to settle the contest. Erins Own scored from a penalty
with the last puck but it made no difference at the end. Veteran
Alan Devoy accepted the cup to round off a good year for our second
string hurlers.
