AGHADA HURLING AND FOOTBALL CLUB

While Blarney won this match our lads put up a great show with William Leahy scoring a mighty goal. Bryan O'Bryne got an equally good point alas these were our only scores. Raymond Savage played some great football, as did Rory Hurley. Subs, Brian Kavanagh, Maurice Shannahan, Michael McCarthy, Kyle and Keelan Kennedy also played their part but the star of the show was Maria Corrigliano who had an outstanding game in goals' while Séamus McCarthy and Cormac Sheehan held the backline together.
The half backline of Michael Burchill, Raymond Savage and Tim Hartnett was the best line on the field. Outside them Emma Farmer and Bryan O'Bryne worked their socks off. William Leahy was the best forward on view Jack Moran, Fergal Culligan and Tim McCarthy ably helped him

Thanks to the ladies who provided the food after the game.

The team was as follows Tommy
Dobbyn (couldn't be faulted for many of the goals), Seámus McCarthy, Gerard
O' Brien, Cormac Sheehan (excellent - on his return), Tim Hartnett, Giorgio
Corigliano, Raymond Savage, Ronan Kennedy (2-2), David Rice, Richard
Dowling (1-0), Michael Desmond, Cian Rowe (1-0), William Leahy, Brian
O'Byrne (1-0), Rory Hurley. Subs: Brian Condon (late) & Jack Moran
. We were down a number of regulars without
excuse. Glanmire were much too strong but when we could the ball past
midfield, we were causing them a lot of problems. When Brian Condon
arrived, he helped strengthen the defence considerably. In defence, Cormac
Sheehan, Raymond Savage, Giorgio Corigliano (on return from sickness) tried
hard, while at midfield David Rice and captain Ronan Kennedy (scorer of 2-2
who once again led by example by being top scorer) troubled Glanmire's
defence frequently. In attack William Leahy looked very sharp, setting up
many scores while Richard Dowling (1-0), Cian Rowe (1-0), Brian O'Byrne
(1-0) were all among the scores. Michael Desmond, after a series of games
the day before, worked hard when moved to midfield.
That's the end of the under 10 for this year.

Both sides were short a few regulars but Mitchelstown won out narrowly in the end. T. Dobbyn was very dependable in goals and made some great saves. In the full backline Giorgio was very solid and Michael Burchill was a revelation, clearing a lot of ball and Tim Hartnett gave good assistance also. In the half backline Michael Daly and Gerard O' Brien stopped up alot of attacks and Christopher Benskin defended well too in his first full game. Josh O' Shea and Ronan Kennedy were instrumental at midfield and got most of the scores. Their interpassing, off the ball running and finding of other forwards was a joy to watch. It was as if Ronan had never been away. In the forwards, the scorers were Seamus O' Gorman and Michael Desmond who were the main sources from where scores would come while the other forwards, all playing in their first year at U-10 were never out of their depth aand played very well. The subs that got a run out made good impressions too and didn't let their side down.
