Dunlea the scoring ace for crafty Canovee

Canovee 0-13 Aghabullogue 0-8

Playing with a strong wind, Canovee started brightly, taking a 0-3 to 0-1 lead, though chances were being wasted on both sides. Good points by Hogan and John Corkery had Aghabullogue level by the 18th minute, however, and trailing by one, 0-5 to 0-4, six minutes before half-time they looked in a good position.

Canovee finished the half with four points in-a-row — Pat Dunlea shelving early jitters from a long-range free while Con Dunne showed up well at full-forward and wing-back Damien Ahern weighed in with one too.
