Aghada see off tough Rockies challenge

Aghada 0-16Blackrock 0-12

Aghada were considered to be under significant pressure coming into the game due to the absence of Pearse O’Neill, injured prior to Cork’s defeat of Kerry in the Senior football championship and four of the team’s absence due to the Euro 2012 championships.

However, a slick opening from the East Cork outfit saw them point three times without reply but a let-off, when top scorer Trevor O’Keeffe rifled the ball off the crossbar, woke Blackrock up sufficiently for them to make a game of it.
