U21 East Cork A Football County 1st Round - Aghada 3-13 v St Michaels 1-6

Our U21 footballers successfully negotiated the 1st round of the County Championship last Saturday night when they had a comprehensive victory over St. Michaels from Blackrock. Played in Pairc Ui Rinn an early goal from Cork minor captain, Diarmaid Phelan, helped settled Aghada into the game. St Michaels who were beaten in the semi-final of the city championship by Douglas, were more than a match for Aghada in this opening period, and by half time had levelled proceedings at 1-5 apiece. There was nothing in the opening 15 minutes of the 2nd half to suggest Aghada were heading for a convincing win, although the East Cork champions did open up a 3 point lead in this period. Then on 18 minutes Luke O’Connell goaled and this pushed the Aghada team into top gear. With Jordan Tynan outstanding at centre back, and Kyle O’Shea impressing also at corner back, Aghada took complete control. Just as in the East Cork final, Kevin O’Hanlon started to run the show for Aghada upfront. And with Daniel Creedon popping over some lovely points, Aghada put solid distance between themselves and Michael’s on the scoreboard. Aghada continued to play some impressive football and the result was never in doubt long before O’Hanlon kicked Aghada’s third goal in the dying seconds. This competition will probably stall now until after the leaving cert, so it’s likely the end of June before we will play again. Congrats to all involved in this great win.
