Ring insists dual focus has been to Aghabullogue's advantage

Aghabullogue’s involvement in either showpiece is no surprise package story.

DUAL INTEREST: Aghabullogue's Paul Ring (left) and Mitchelstown's Killian Roche at Páirc Uí Chaoimh ahead of the Bon Secours Cork Intermediate A FC final.

There were 30 names listed on the match programme for Aghabullogue’s Intermediate A hurling semi-final three weeks ago. There were again 30 names listed on the match programme for the club’s Intermediate A football semi-final a week later. 

A quick crossover count arrived at 20 dual players. Of that 20, nine featured in both semi-finals.
