Nifty Newmarket make wasteful Aghada pay

Newmarket are full of surprises.

Last year they won a Cork Premier IFC title they had no right to on early round form. Now, after suffering a first round senior defeat by St Finbarr’s, few gave them a chance against a more seasoned Aghada side in this second round clash in Killavullen on Saturday.

True they were abetted by some scandalous Aghada shooting in the second-half, but this Danny Culloty driven side know how to play football. Not a big side physically, they re still tigerish on the ball and were well able to withstand the loss of Bart Daly, who went off injured after only 11 minutes. They played some nifty football at times and were a clued in outfit all through this second round contest.
