DUNMANWAY V AGHADA
The semi-final match in football for the County Championship was played off on Sunday in the Cork Park, the contesting teams being Dunmanway and Aghada. The Aghada team appeared the lighter of the two sets of men, but in every other respect they were no match for their opponents. The day ,though threatening, held out as well as could be expected, and the match was witnessed by a fairly large crowd.
Details - Aghada won the toss and played towards the Blackrock end of the Park. They at once became aggressive but Dunmanway relieved and scored a point. Some passing again brought play to Dunmanway quarters where a goal was secured by Aghada, and getting a free kick soon after, they followed up with a point and augumented this score by still another from a 60 yard kick. Soon after the Dunmanway men got possession and scored a goal. The Aghada men relieved and transferred play again to Dunmanway ground where a well directed kick added another point to their score. Halt time was soon after called, the score standing:-
Aghada - 1 goal 3 points
