Aghabulloge advance

that’s sure to be disappointing for a football only club.

Adrigole had got off to a flyer of a start, Cork Under 21 and Junior panellist David Harrington availed of hesitancy within the Aghabullogue rearguard to bag a goal in the first attack.

Aghabullogue grew into the game, Matthew Bradley points sandwiched a likewise effort per Harrington for the peninsula side. For a spell, Adrigole controlled the centre, a ploy to get the ball into attacks paid off on Brendan O’Sullivan and Ger Green adding points for a 1-3 to 0-2 grip.

Aghabullogue might well had goaled, a great move involving Michael Dennehy and Evan O’Sullivan split the opposing defence only for Bradley’s effort to be smothered away for a ’45 that Ryan Dennehy pointed.

Though Brendan O’Sullivan added a point for Adrigole, Aghabullogue were growing in confidence, Evan O’Sullivan and Bradley pointed to leave the minimum between the pair 1-4 to 0-6.

And Aghabullogue hit the ground running for the second half, Bradley pointed, straight from the thrown in. Better again for Aghabulloge in the follow up attack on Corkery netting his initial score, that came about from Corkery winning the race from Adrigole ‘keeper William O’Sullivan to punch home a goal.

Aghabullogue stayed with their task, the input of Dennehy, Niall Buckley, Corkery and Bradley. The accurate Bradley continued to show accuracy on obliging with pointed frees. Adrigole had handed over the initiative yet they remained in the hunt from points to Harrington and Kevin Jer O’Sullivan to leave three between the pair.

Still Aghabullogue’s superior energy levels and pace remained to the forefront, the outcome sealed and delivered on the opportunist Corkery capitialising on hesitancy to fire home a goal to rubberstamp the destination of the spoils.
