Aghada’s intermediate hurlers returned to Ballinhassig
for the second week in a row, this time to take on the home side
in the semi-final of the Liam Breathnach cup. This time we brought
extra’s of everything – selectors,players and supporters
and all were needed as this game took 20 mins of extra time to
separate two very committed teams. Ballinhassig started the brighter
of the 2 but and early Brian Morrissey goal helped settle a young
Aghada side. JohnO, Billy Boots and Ger Melvin were particularly
impressive for Aghada in defence while up front Pierce O’Neill
and John Connolly looked the most dangerous. Aghada led by the
narrowest of margins at half time and despite being reduced to
14 men mid-way through the second period, still had a one-point
lead with time up on the clock. With the last puck of the game,
Ballinhassig equalised to send the match into extra time. A fine
individual goal from Kieran O’Connor followed by a point
by Pierce O’Neill gave Aghada a great start. Soon after
however Aghada paid a very dear price for over carrying in the
forwards when the resulting free was sent the length of the pitch
and all the way to the back of the Aghada net. It was the lift
the home side needed and in the 2nd 10 mins of extra time they
4 unanswered points to clinch victory and a place in the final.
It was not to be for an Aghada side which gave their all on the
day. T.O’Neill,J.O’Connor,B.Hennessy, S.O’Keeffe,G.Melvin(0-3),K.O’Keeffe(capt.), J.Murphy(0-2),B.Crowley, J.Connolly(0-2),P.O’Neill(0-2),T.Wall, K.O’Connor(1-0), B.Morrissey(1-1),D.O’Keeffe. Sub Used –Micheal Lewis. |

Short a number players and playing into a strong wind, Aghada
didn't have the best of opening halfs. Going for difficult goal
chances up front for no return, and conceding lots of goal chances
at the back, meant that only the sheer brillance of goalkeeper
Michael Lewis kept Aghada in this game at half time. All things
considered the 1-6 to 0-3 interval scoreline didn't seem insurmountable
turning to play with the wind in the 2nd period. The expected
comeback never materialised and with courcey's eventually getting
the goals they had threatened all night, they ran out easy winners
on a 3-10 to 0-11 scoreline. M. Lewis, C.O'Gorman,P. Cashman,B.Flaherty J.Murphy,R.Dewane,K.O'Keeffe, A.Cotter,W.O'Donoghue, T.O'Keeffe,P.O'Neill,D.Creedon, V.Morrissey,G.Melvin,J.O'Connell. |

An other great win for Aghada Aghada looked the better side right through but could not put
Youghal away 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 Creedan (1-1), Pierce O’Neill (0-3) Stephen O'Keeffe, Brian Morrissey (0-2), Vincent Morrissey (1-4) Sub used Declan Devoy for Cotter 54th minute
