Aghada show early promise

Aghada 1-15 Na Piarsaigh 0-9

The east Cork men have enjoyed the upper hand in clashes between this pair in recent years but this game flew in the face of recent trends. Instead of eking out a tight victory over the city team, Aghada had a handsome advantage at the final whistle.

They were full value for the ultimate nine-point success, leading by six points at the interval after a wind-assisted first-half and then displaying the ruthlessness thereafter to press home their advantage.
