Clinical Aghabullogue edge Cloyne

A strong showing immediately before and after half-time was key for Aghabullogue as they earned a place in the last 16 of the Cork County IFC at the expense of Cloyne at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Trailing by 1-6 to 0-4 after Cloyne recovered from a slow start, the mid-Cork side found themselves 1-8 to 1-6 ahead with the fourth quarter dawning and kept their opponents at arm’s length to condemn them to a third-round clash with Killavullen.

Aghabullogue began the game in fifth gear, plundering four points in the first seven minutes, one from Evan O’Sullivan and three by their most impressive forward, John Corkery.
