Aghada 2-7 Glanmire 1-8

Aghada win three A football titles in a row. up to three years ago Aghada had never won one now they have three and what a way to win one.
If there was a better match played this weekend I would have loved to see it. This game had everything passion, skill of the highest order, will to win and most of all two honest teams that gave everything in for the cause. The game opened slowly although Charlie Terry opened the scoring with a point after three minutes for the next ten both sets of backs were on top then Mathew Leahy had that all important goal to put the seasiders ahead by 1-1 to no score. Glanmire started to exert pressure and it started to pay off scoring 5 points on the trot from Shane Garvey (0-2) Killian O’Leary, Killian Moloney and Marcus and when ahead on the 28 minute Aghada looked in trouble but up stepped man of the match Aaron Berry with a long range free to level the game on the 29th m. two minutes later he converted a 45 for the lead again which they were never to lose. The state of play at the short whistle was Aghada 1-3 Glanmire 0-5.
Aghada were out of the traps like a greyhound as within a minute of the restart Berry again converted a 45. a minute later he sent in an other long range free which Luke O’Connell plucked out of the sky and rattled the net for a great goal. The intensely of the game was by now sky high as both teams gave an exhibition of football rarely seen. End to end stuff both cul barra's were at their best especially Ciaran O’Shea in the Aghada goal. While Glanmire were by far the bigger team Aghada had the craft and also fought tooth and nail for every ball. Jordan Tynan, Charlie Terry and Jack Mc Donald added points to leave Aghada ahead by 2- 7 to 5 points as we entered the last quarter. With eight minutes left on the clock Glanmire stared to motor and when Shane O’Driscoll hit the Aghada net with a rasper it was game back on. Glanmire’s best forward Shane Garvey added another minor as did Sam Heffernan to leave just two between the sides two minutes into injury time. Aghada never panicked with Ed Leahy playing a captains part at full back.

Mon 10th May u12 A grade football semi-final

Aghada 4-17,Carraigtohill 2-5

The East Cork u12 A grade football semi-final was played in Carraigtohill on Monday 10th May.
After two minutes of play,Aghada were one goal and a point down.The blistering start by Carraigtohill took Aghada by surprise and it took until the 6th minute before Aghada registered their first point from Jordan Tynan followed by another point from Jack McDonnell.With a brisk north breeze behind them,Aghada began to settle and a near goal chance from James Gilroy and narrow miss by Kalen O'Donaghue was a promise of more to come.The persistant pressure by Aghada yielded the first point from Charlie Terry, followed by Mathew Leahy and in the 20th minute Luke O'Connell lashed home a goal.Then followed a series of points,and by half time the score was 1-9 to 1-3.
The second half saw Carraigtohill tightened-up their back line and scores were more difficult,well, for the first 20 minutes.In fact Carraigtohill scored 1-2 to Aghada's 4 points,and Aaron Berry was taken off injured.Aghada's defense remained solid with full back Edward Leahy putting in a fine performance.
It is hard to put a good team down and in the last ten minutes Aghada scored 3-4,with splendid displays of attacking,defending,tackling and team passing.
This all round team display brings this football side to an East Cork final ,to play the winners of either Glanmire or Erins Own.
The final will be played on Monday 17th,and venue will be advised later.
Team manager Seanie Norris and mentor Tom O'Neill will be wishing Aaron well and hopefully he will be back for the final.
