Cork IAFC wrap: Quarter-final line-up confirmed as Mitchelstown and Aghabullogue advance

Glanmire defeated Aghabullogue by 4-8 to 1-12 but Luke Casey’s goal for the losers was crucial in the final analysis

Aghabullogue (+21) will face Dromtarriffe in the quarter-finals after the Duhallow side leapt from the bottom of Group D to the very top following their 3-6 to 0-8 victory over Gabriel Rangers in Kilmichael.

There was high drama across Cork this afternoon as the final round of group games in the Bon Secours IAFC took place.

Nowhere was this more evident than in Group A where Mitchelstown, Aghabullogue, and Glanmire all finished on four points. Last year’s beaten finalists Mitchelstown claimed top spot as a result of their 1-17 to 0-8 win over Kildorrery in Araglen. The North Cork side will be happy with how they have responded to their opening-round loss to Aghabullogue as their scoring difference of +22 saw them pip their Mid-Cork rivals by a single point.
