Wed 7th May Intermediate Hurling Championship Aghada 2-13 Youghal 2-10
Now it was Aghada’s turn the second half just opened when Vincent found the net Pearse added a point and then Brian Morrissey came into the game scoring a brace of points within as many minutes the last coming on the 43rd minute. Youghal were yet to score, but back they came hitting four points in a row before Trevor steadied the nerves with a point to finish off the game. Five of the Aghada forwards scored while Stephen O’Keeffe acquitted him well on his championship debut, as did Aidan Cotter who worked hard in the centre of the park. Rohan Dwane faired well at centre back as did Billy Hennessy and his uncle the evergreen Captain Kenneth O’Keeffe Michael Lewis, Brendan Crowley , Pat Cashman , Colm O'Brien, Billy Hennessy, Rohan Dwane , Kenneth O'Keeffe (capt), Aidan Cotter , Ger Melvin, Trevor O'Keeffe ,(0-3), Davie Creedon (1-1), Pearse O’Neill (0-3), Stephen O'Keeffe, Brian Morrissey (0-2), Vincent Morrissey (1-4) Sub used Declan Devoy for Cotter 54th minute Mon 23rd June IHL Aghada 2-17 1-9 Eire Og.
Intermediate Hurling Championship Courcey Rovers 2-10 Aghada 1-11 Mon 18th Aug IHL Aghada Drew with St. Vincent’s Sun 9th Oct Liam Breathnach cup intermediate Hurling Aghada 4-8 Kilbrittain 0-18 Aghada’s intermediate hurlers travelled to Ballinhassig on
Sunday morning last to play Kilbrittain in the quarter final of
the Liam Breathnach cup. Aghada travelled light – they brought
15 players, 1 sub/selector, the manager and to the best of my knowledge
only one supporter – John Motherway! Despite the heavy conditions
a great hours hurling was served up by both teams. Aghada had the
lead at half time; thanks mainly to two great goals from corner
forward David O’ Keeffe. The first goal came after full forward
Pierce O’Neill burned the Kilbrittain full back before hand
passing to O’Keeffe who doubled first time on the ball in
flight and billowed the net. A super score! The second was set up
courtesy of the other corner man Kieran O’Connor who raced
through on goal before squaring the ball for O’Keeffe to slide
in bravely and crash the ball home to the back of the net. Kilbrittain
were staying in touch however with some excellent points as well
as a number of frees needlessly given away by the Aghada defence.
The interval scoreline read Aghada 2-5 V Kilbrittain 0-8. On the
restart a brilliant last-ditch hook by wingback Ken O’Keeffe
denied Kilbrittain a certain goal. At the other end Aghada were
to score two more goals in this half. First O’Keeffe scrambled
home his hat trick and then Brian Morrissey pounced for a real opportunist
goal. Despite these goals Aghada were always under pressure from
Kilbrittain who were still picking off some good points. Aghada
had a new ‘keeper in the shape of Trevor O’ Keeffe who
had a great game between the posts, and his “varied”
puck outs certainly kept the opposition guessing (as well as his
own team mates!). Cathal O’Gorman, Anthony Connolly, and Stevie
Keeffe were defending very well at this stage. With time running
out Aghada had a 2 point lead. Kilbrittain staged one more attack
and seemed certain to score the winning goal, when corner back Billy
Hennessey appeared from nowhere to superbly flick the ball away
from the Kilbrittain forward. Aghada held on for what I think is
our first ever victory over this West Cork side. Aghada now meet
Ballinhassig in the semi-final, and this game will most likely be
played the weekend after next.
