Wed 23rd of April U12 D football championship – Aghada (2) 4-10 Killeagh/Ita’s 1-2
Aghada’s second team travelled to Killeagh on Wednesday last the 23rd of April to play the home side in the first round of this year’s D championship. Playing against the wind, the first half was a close affair with Killeagh going into the lead through an early goal. Aghada were grateful to ‘keeper Joe Hennigan aswell as Cian Savage and especially Aaron Berry for some strong defending in this period. A goal from corner forward Mark Wall, got Aghada back in the game and another from Jack Farmer just before the break gave the Aghada lads a half time lead 2-2 V 1-2. On resumption, Aghada really took over, and the introduction of Kyle McCarthy at centre forward added some extra fire power upfront. A super goal from Kyle, and another from Farmer put Aghada on the road to a comfortable victory. Aghada Team – Joe Hennigan, Paul Daly, Peter Cashman(capt), Tadgh Gilroy, Jordan Tynan, Cian Savage, Aaron Berry, Aaron Butler, Sean O’Leary, Stephen O’Halloran, Daniel Creedon, Jack McGouran, Charlie Terry, Jack Farmer, Mark Wall.

Thur 24th P I H L Aghada beat Douglas by a point
Aghada U12 football
Aghada’s U12 footballers have been very busy with matches this last month. This year we are fielding 2 teams , 1 at A grade and the other at D grade. Both have been going well in their leagues as championship time now approaches. The A team started their league campaign on the 31st of March, when they entertained Killeagh/Ita’s in Rostellan. On a damp night, a strong wind ensured that this was to be a game of 2 halves. Killeagh/Ita’s raced into a commanding lead in the 1st period. Try as they might, Aghada, despite having plenty of opportunities could not reduce this lead to anything less than 2 points in the second half and Killeagh/Ita’s were the winners. Next up was Carrigtwohill. This was a strange game, with Carrigtwohill dominating for long periods, but Aghada being far more clinical with their chances up front. At half time Aghada led by 4 goals, but this was no way a fair reflection of the game. Carrig took over in the second period, but some stout defending from Michael Leahy, Peter Cashman and Shane Dorney just about kept Aghada in the lead and they held on for a fortunate 2 point victory. Final score Aghada 6-4 V Carrigtwohill 4-8. Next up for the A’s was Glanmire at home, and here a fine team performance gave Aghada a very comfortable win on a 4-16 v 0-3 scoreline. Then it was down to Youghal for Round 4. A bit like the Carrig game , Aghada were more than flattered by the scoreline, which looks far more comfortable than it really was. Final score – Aghada 2-11 V Youghal 1-1. The Aghada goals coming from Aaron Stafford and John Looney. That leaves Aghada with 2 games to play and in a strong position to clinch a league final spot. The D’s have gone even one better and have already clinched their place in the league final. A big win against Midleton in the opening round was followed by a heavy defeat away to Lisgoold on a scoreline that read Aghada 0-2 V Lisgoold 3-8. It didn’t seem as bad at half time with the sides level at 2 points a piece, but the home side totally took over after the break to run out convincing winners. Next up was Killeagh/Ita’s at home and on a bitterly cold night, Aghada edged out a narrow win on a 1-12 V 1-3 scoreline. Aghada were grateful to some stout defending from Tadgh Gilroy, Jordan Tynan and Kalen O’Donoghue on the night. Next was the long trip up to Glenville, where inspired by a super performance from Aaron Butler at midfield, Aghada had a big win. Daniel Creedon, Mark Wall, Jack McGauran ,Stephen Daly, James Gilroy, Luke Nolan, and Declan Foley were others who impressed. Final Score Aghada 9-9 V Glenville 2-2. Aghada’s last game turned out to be a nail biting affair when they entertained Glanmire in Rostellan. In a contest that was close throughout, Aghada did manage to put some daylight between the sides mid way through the second half when they had a 3 point lead. Back came Glanmire however and in the end it was Aghada that were clinging on to earn a draw and a share of the points. Aghada ‘keeper Joe Hennigan was easily Aghada’s best player and kept them in the game with several fine saves. Cian Savage, Aaron Berry, Charlie Terry, Mathew Leahy and Eddie Leahy were others to impress on the night. That result sets up a league final between the same 2 sides but for now it is down to the really serious business as championship looms on the horizon.

Sparking Nemo start four-in-a-row quest in styleNemo Rangers 3-10 Aghada 2-7 (Jim O’Sullivan Irish Examiner)
And then we saw Aghada persistence paying off with a goal from their best forward, Trevor O’Keeffe in the 54th minute and after Nemo lost team captain Maurice McCarthy for a second yellow card offence, they finally got their forward game going with a further goal and three points in an eight-minute period. Of course, it happened all too late for the East Cork side, whose work-rate more than matched that of the craftier Nemo but whose use of the ball going forward was often seriously deficient by comparison. In short, it was a typical display from the reigning champions, well organised and methodical, who on this display will be hard to stop in their quest to achieve four-in-a-row. They started with just one change in personnel from the side which lost in the All-Ireland Club Final in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day — Sean O’Brien at right half-forward in place of Rickey Kenny — but with positional alterations both in defence and attack, which featured county players Derek Kavanagh and James Masters at centre-back and centre-forward respectively. And, not for the first time, Masters played a key role in attack, despite the best efforts of Paul Kilbane and Kieran O’Connor. Masters got their opening score, from a 9th minute free and while Aghada were to be frustrated by the lack of return from a number of promising attacks, they could feel satisfied with their defensive covering, which was assisted by team captain John Paul O’Connor and others dropping back to help ease the pressure. The problem was they missed good scoring chances, resulting from the hard work Ronan Dwane, O’Connor, O’Keeffe and Cian Fleming — along with Tom O’Neill at midfield. Nemo finished the half strongly. The 10 minutes before the break saw them finish with a flourish with the first of two goals from Alan Cronin in injury time, when he had the simple task of finishing the ball to the net after ‘keeper Evan Kennedy dropped an angled shot from David Kearney. Turning over 1-5 to 0-1 in front, Aghada suffered another body blow when slack marking left Kearney in for a goal chance which he took expertly. Nemo’s defence was even harder to penetrate, Peter Morgan was stronger at midfield and with Masters, Dylan Mehigan, Kearney and Paul Kerrigan to the forefront up front, they maintained control. A third goal followed, from Alan Cronin (created by Mehigan) and it served to highlight the difference between the teams — Nemo’s play being the more productive. But, to give Aghada credit, their effort never faltered and they were to be rewarded at the end — their supporters getting special satisfaction from an excellent goal initiated by Kilbane, and finished in style by O’Keeffe. Scorers for Nemo Rangers: A. Cronin 2-2; J. Masters 0-5 (0-3 frees); D. Kearney 1-1; P. Kerrigan (free) and D. Mehigan 0-1 each. Aghada: T. O’Keeffe 2-2 (0-1 free); C. Fleming 0-5 (0-4 frees). E. Kennedy; Brian Wall, Billy Hennessy, Brendan Crowley; Ronan Power, Paul Kilbane, Kerian O’Connor; Aidan Kelleher, Tom O’Neill; Vince Morrissey, Ronan. Dwane, Ger Melvin; Trevor O’Keeffe (2-2), John Paul O’Connor (capt), Cian Fleming (0-5) Sub: Colm Power for Morrissey (38th minute).
NEMO RANGERS: B. Morgan; G. O’Shea, N. Geary, D. Breen; M. Cronin, D. Kavanagh, B. O’Regan; P. Morgan, M. McCarthy (capt); S. O’Brien, J. asters, P. Kerrigan; A. Cronin, D. Mehigan, D. Kearney. Referee: Michael Collins (Clonakilty).

Sun13th April Senior football league Aghada 1-14 Ilen rovers 1-15
| The senior football’s had a useful workout on Sunday last but came out on the wrong side of a 1-15 V 1-14 scoreline against Ilen Rovers in the Kelleher Shield. Kieran O’Connor scored 1-2 from wing forward, in a game that saw good performances also from Cian Fleming and Trevor O’Keeffe. Next up is D Day and a date with Nemo Rangers in the 1st round of the county championship. Last years All-Ireland runners up will, as usual, start as hot favourites, but Aghada, buoyed by improvements in recent performances and good championship wins at Junior A and U21 levels, will go all guns blazing for the scalp of the Capwell club. Best of luck to all involved. |

Aghada take their 7th U21 A title
| On Sat last in a well prepared but cold Lisgoold Aghada made sure
of their third title this decade their 7th in all. Both teams were very
even only for Aghada’s cork minor Cian Fleming who took the game
by the scruff of the neck scoring five of Aghada’s eight points
a fair achievement on a day when scores were as scarce as hen’s
teeth. O but it could have been so different. Carrig dominated the opening
exchanges with their Midfielder Martin Hickey pressing forward with
ease causing the Aghada backline grief yet to no avail. Then in a rare attract Aghada’s Kennett O’Brien found himself one and one with the keeper only to shoot into the keepers hands. From this miss Barry Casey Pointed a free to put Carrig into the lead. Aghada slowly got to grips with Tom Houlihan now out playing Hickey. Finally Fleming opened Aghada’s account on the 9th minute with a free. With both defences on top scores were hard to come by. Aghada’s Alan Morrissey, Shane Wall and Conor Rice were in superb from as were Diarmuid O’Driscoll and Tyrone Kennedy for Carrig. Aghada pressed forward in numbers but again unable to find the net when a Shane Scanlon rasper ricocheted of the cross bar. Then on the 18th m Aghada Capt Sean O’Donoghue pointed to put Aghada in front. Four minutes later Barry Casey replied for Carrig. With Fleming now operating on the forty Aghada added two more minors to leave the score at the short whistle 0-4 to 0-2 On resumption Carrignavar were again first to score with a Casey
point but how Aghada responded three points in ten minutes two from
placed balls by Fleming and one from the boot of Alan Creedon Aghada
were now well on top but failed to put Carrig a way with goals going
a begging . Carrignavar tried hard to get into the game moving Casey
to centre forward this was followed with points from Mark Crowley
and Martin Hickey to a free from Fleming left a goal between the sides.
Stephen Casey moved from Centre back to mid field to partner Hickey
and this gave Carrig and platform to come at Aghada as time ran down
but to no avail. Carrignavar Cian Dorgan, Richard Mullins, Diarmuid O’Driscoll (Captain), Daniel Coleman, Tyrone Kennedy, Stephen Casey, Darren Noonan, Martin Hickey (0-1), Michael Minihane, Paul O’Keeffe, Aidan Hegarty, John O’Sullivan, Ronan Spillane, Barrie Casey(0-3 2 frees ), Mark Crowley (0-1)

| Last Saturday the 12th of April was a great day for Aghada when our U21 footballers were crowned East Cork A grade champions after a fine win over Carrignavar. Played in the splendid Lisgoold grounds, Kenneth O’Brien had the 1st real chance of a score but saw his goal bound effort well saved by the Carrignavar ‘keeper. A minute later the opening score did arrive with a pointed free for Carrig. The Aghada defence was in outstanding form however for the hour with Evan Kennedy extremely solid between the sticks and the 2 corner backs, Shane Wall and Conor Rice the pick of an excellent defensive unit. Up front, while scores were hard to come by, Aghada continued to create goal chances throughout the game. Shane Scanlon rattled the crossbar on 13 minutes; this was just after a Cian Fleming free had tied the game. Aghada were dealt a major blow when centre forward Michael Russell was forced off injured, however Andrew O’Donoghue won some great ball after he came on as replacement. At midfield Tom Holohan and Sean O’Donoghue gave Aghada a strong foothold in the contest and the latter chipped in with a fine point on 18 minutes. Carrignavar wasted no time responded with a like score, but Aghada finished the half strongly with 2 nice points from Fleming and O’Brien. Aghada would have the wind in the second half and led on a 04 V 0-2 scoreline. A free inside a minute of the restart, reduced the lead, but Aghada then hit 3 unanswered points from Alan Creedon, and 2 Cian Fleming frees. It was a 3 point game when Carrig pointed from play with a quarter to go. Ken O’Brien saw another goal chance deflected out for a ’45 which Cian Fleming pointed and Aghada were full value for the 4 point lead entering the closing stages. Carrignavar managed to pull one back with 3 minutes left, but from here to the final whistle, there was to be no more scores for either side. So Aghada were East Cork champions and it was left to the new East Cork Board chairman Michael O’Brien making his first ever presentation, to present the cup to captain Sean O’Donoghue. Well done to all involved plus manager Sean O’Keeffe and his selectors, Aiden Berry and Martin O’Donoghue. |
