AISLING Annacotty have thrown the Premier League race wide open after beating joint leaders Pike Rvs at Annacotty on Thursday evening.
Following Fairview’s defeat to Ballynanty Rvs last weekend, Pike had the chance to take the outright lead but came up short against a rejuvenated Aisling side.
Right from the off, Aisling looked the hungrier side, closing down their opponents all over the park.
Pike, who looked a tired side on the night, seemed content to just hold possession without causing the Aisling rearguard any problems.

After the break, the lead was doubled with a superb goal. Quinn won possession and put Killian Maloney away on the left. His teasing ball across the face of goal found Clarke racing in at the back post to blast home.
Aisling made it 3-0 with another superb goal from the industrious Quinn, who firing a rocket from outside the box to the roof of the net.

It was only at this stage that Pike showed intensity and got one back when Colin Daly poked home from close range.
They continued to press for the last ten minutes but Thomas Clarke and Co., kept the Hoops at bay to give their side the perfect boost before their upcoming Munster Junior Cup game at St Michaels.
