Sat 8th June

SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

U.C.C. 2-13 AGHADA 1-8

Aghada bowed out of the senior championship after a spirited show against a very good UCC side. Scoring only two points in the second half to UCC's 1-6 tells the story . yet we were well in this match up to 5 minutes to go when the College boys tacked on 1-1 in the closing minutes. And if Pierce O' Neill found the net when he came on a blistering run that brought him to the edge of the square , only for his shot to run across the goal and go wide . The first half was all so different with some great football .Mark Lewis won a free on center field , Trevor O'Keeffe took a quick free James O'Connell won the ball and found the back of the net . Aghada looked good after that it was point for point and the half time score settled at 1-7 to 1-6 against our lads . On the night Aghada would have bt. most teams but this college team have the feel of champions about them and it will take a great team to oust them this year

Fri 31st May Kelleher Shield Senior football

Na Piarsaigh 4-6 Aghada 1-12

In this top of the table clash the city boys got the better of our lads mainly due to a poor ten minute spell midway through the second half when Aghada conceded 2-2 in as many minutes . To our credit we came back but instead of putting the ball over the bar we went for goals when a draw was there for the taken. With this been our last match before championship the selectors learned a lot from this game .

Sat the 13th April

SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Clonakilty 3-3 Aghada 1-8

What a time to lose you first match of the year . a match we could and should have won . A match riddled with missed chances on both sides but mostly on ours. Here is the Examiner headline

Griffin magic fires Clonakilty to one point victory over luckless

Aghada Magical moments from the mercurial Padraig Griffin laid the foundations for Clonakiltys exciting one point victory over luckless Aghada. Giffin unleashed the full range of his dazzling skills after Aghada jumped into a early two point lead, courtesy of Rohan Dwane and Trevor O'Keeffe. Gaining possession on the right wing in the 14th minute Griffin embarked on a daring solo run and drew goalkeeper Shane O'Connell before scoring a superb goal. Three minutes later the eager beaver Clon fullforward picked out his bother Mark with a peach of a pass and after he was fouled by O'Connell , left half forward Colin O'Donovan slotted the ball home from the penalty spot.these scores were crucial in light of the fact that Aghada completely dominated the midfield exchanges with both Dwane and O'Neill practically owning the ball but failure to capitialalise on a number fine goalscoring opportunities left the east Cork Men trailing by 2-1 to 0-4 at half time.

Although Clon were denied a their goal when a fierce drive from Conrad Murphy came off the underside of the crossbar, Aghada applied strong pressure after the resumption and two points in quick succession from James O'Connell, who excelled when moved to full forward , left the bare minimum between the sides. However, just as the point when this tie was truly in the melting pot , Aghada's goalscoring deserted them. and Clon grimly held on to their slender lead . Then calamity befell Aghada when O'Connell misjudged a high delivery for centre forward Donal Lyons and allowed the ball to drop into an empty net. The drama didn't end there . In Injury Aghada were awarded a penalty . Centre foward JP O'Connor's conversion attempt in the fading light appeared to go wide . But after consultations with his umpires referee Denis Linehan signaled a goal -apparently because the ball had gone through a hole in the net . However this was Aghada's last shot of the dice

Echo headline

Clonakilty defy the odds to secure victory

there was plenty of drama in Ballincollig as Clon ripped the from book to shreds. a poor league return in the recent past suggested that the West Cork lads might have to play second fiddle to the men from Aghada

A brave second half comeback by Aghada saw them take a share of the spoils in difficult playing conditions
Trailing Clyda at half time by five points to one the Aghada players put their shoulders to the wheel to grind out a draw and in truth should have won it,But for some costly misses in front of goal.
Shrewd positional changes of Declan Devoy to midfield and Kenneth O' Keeffe to wing back,
Along with the force full play of Eoin O' Neill, William O' Donoghue and Nigel Berry,The attaching qualities of Young Brendan Crowley and Rohan Dwane,and the enormous O' Keeffe.
