AGHADA HURLING AND FOOTBALL CLUB

At the 1st time of asking Aghada won the LA TRATTORIA CUP when they defeated Castlemartyr, Ballinacurra and Glanmire B to become worthy winners of the fine Cup sponsored by the Corigliano's. All the games were tight affairs with Aghada winning only in the last few minutes. With both Glanmire and Aghada going into the final unbeaten having playing out a draw in the opening game the final was always going to be tight. Glanmire opened the scoring when they got a fine goal and they added another point before Shane Scannell replied with a goal. Glanmire tacked on a point before they hit another major. Our lads hit back with an Alan Creedan goal and a Cian Fleming point to leave the half time score 2-2 to Aghada's 2-1.
We took the lead with two fine points by Fleming but the Glanmire lads hit back with a point. Michael Russell but Aghada in the lead again when he tapped over a point. Glanmire replied with two points to lead going into the final few minutes. Glanmire repelled attack after attack until Russell busted the net with one of the last shots of the game so to Aghada the spoils and all that was left was for Alan Creedan to lift the cup

in a mighty game of football we had to give way to the boys from the west . In truth we could have won this but we were unlucky. Shane Scannell was the outstanding player on the field closely followed by Paul Crowley .The Glan na Gael lads owned the ball in the first Quarter and only for bad shooting and great defending by the full back line of Colman Hayes , Finnbar Day, Sean Hargan and David Condon in goals our goose was cooked . With Alan Creedan and Dave Leahy trying hard in the half forward line.Shane Wall and Michael O'Neill started to make head way up front and when Wall was fouled for a spotter up stepped Scannell and he made no mistake to leave the score at half time 1-2 to the Gael's 1-5. On the resumption Wall goalied Scannell and O'Neill added points and suddenly we were in front but we could not keep it up despite a great penalty save from Condon; team
