VALLEY ROVERS JUNIOR A HURLERS WHO RETAINED THEIR SOUTH EAST
HURLING TITLE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
Page 2 of 6
SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Valley Rovers 0.18 V’s Avondhu 1.14
Valley Rovers Senior footballers took on Avondhu in the
4th round of the championship in Ovens on Sunday and
once again gave us another super comeback. Despite
Valleys getting the opening point it was Avondhu who
had the better of the opening quarter as they lead by 1-
03 to 0-01. By the end of normal time in the first half
Avondhu had increased their lead to 8 points. The
referee added 8 minutes to the end of the first half due
to the injuries of two Valleys players. In this time Valleys
outscored Avondhu four points to one and it left the
half time score Valley Rovers 0-05 Avondhu 1-07.
Turning to face the wind a Valley Rovers win looked
unlikely, however into the second half Valleys began to
play some better football but by the end of the third
quarter Avondhu lead by six . Into the last quarter
Valleys took control of the game and by the end of
normal time it was a draw game. In the first minute of
added time Avondhu raced up field and as Rory O
Hagan looked like kicking the winner a partial block by
Tim Cummins meant the shot fell short in goalkeeper
Cormac Desmonds hands. Into the second minute of
injury time Valleys had one last attack and the ball was
worked to John Cottrell and he kicked accurately and
gave Valleys the Victory on the score line of Valley
Rovers 0-18. Avondhu 1-14. The win puts Valleys into
the quarter final.

SOUTH EAST JUNIOR A HURLING FINAL
Valley Rovers 0.14 V’s Tracton 1.08
On Friday last Valley Rovers Junior hurlers headed for
Ballygravan in search of 2 in a row south east titles,
and they didn’t let us down. In the first 6 minutes
Valleys raced into a 4 point lead, 1 each from Darragh
Crowley and Rory O’Sullivand and 2 from Richie Butler.
Valleys remained in charge for the rest of the first half
but had goalkeeper Gary Jones to thank on 2 occasions
when making 2 great saves, The score at half time was
Valley’s 0.09 to Tracton 0.03. The 2nd half was going
exactly as Valley would have wanted up until the 28th
minute of the 2nd half when they lead by 0.14 to 0.07,
however a goal and a point by Tracton with 2 minutes
to go gave the supporters an interesting las couple of
minutes but Tracton couldn’t get the goal to force a
replay and Valley won on a scoreline of Valleys 0.14 to
Tracton 1.08.

LADIES FOOTBALL
UNDER 16’s
Valley Rovers 1-09 Coursey Rovers 1.06
Our U16 girls travelled to Redmond's pitch last
Thursday night to take on Courcey Rovers in the
county semi-final. Valleys won the toss and decided to
play with the wind, however, it was the Courcey girls
who got the better start and raced into a 1:01 to no
score lead after 10 mins, the goal coming from a well
taken penalty. Valleys slowly settled with a lead point
from Orla O Sullivan followed by further scores from
Ellen Fehily, Nicole Callanan & O Sullivan again. Right
on the stroke of halftime, Valleys got their all-
important goal when the ball came back off the
crossbar for Orla to react quickest and slammed the
ball to the net to leave the halftime score of Valleys
1:4 to Courceys 1:1
The second half resumed and proved a tense affair as
both defences continued to dominate. Sterling
defence from Emma O Donavan and Niamh Hurley,
coupled with Sarah lynch at halfback, Valleys repelled
attack after attack and with Laoise Collins proving to
be a key link player at midfield Valleys knocked over
further scores from the mercurial O Sullivan and
Callanan to maintain their lead. Courceys continued to
try and level the game but thankfully the Valleys rear-
guard held firm to run out winners on a score line of
VALLEY ROVERS 1:09 to COURCEY ROVERS 1:06

Well done to the u10 Valley Rovers Ladies football team
for a great day at the Passage West U10 blitz on
Saturday. The day started where the girls joined a
parade of 123 teams from the four corners of Ireland
behind the Carrigaline Pipe Band.
The girls showed great teamwork, shooting, passing
and a typical Valley Rovers "never say attitude" in
games against Kenmore (Kerry), Mungret (Limerick )
and St Nicks and St Vals of Cork. The coaches are
delighted with the progress shown. This was a blitz
where we prioritised girls in their last year u10 and all
girls present got lots of game time. The best summary
of the day was that all the girls left with smiles on
their faces, which is one of the aims of playing sport.
The girls who represented us on Saturday were Ella
Ryan, Emily McGrath, Sorcha Hurley, Caoimhe Craig,
Lydia Huggard, Shona Cronin, Allanah McCarthy, Aoife
Dullea, Croina Murphy, Ally McGrath, Millie Slyne,
Sadbh Forde, Suzie Murphy and Dilly Barry Twohig.

JUVENILE
UNDER 16’s
Valleys U16’s travelled to Clonakilty to take on
Castlehaven in their P2 football quarter final. Valleys
started brightly with two points from the impressive
Adam Walsh Murphy. It was nip and tuck as
Castlehaven tagged on a few points and led by two
approaching half time. An opportunist goal from
Adam Walsh Murphy saw the sides go in level at half
time 1-5 to 0-8. The second half continued to be a
tight affair for the opening 15 minutes, points from
Cormac Kilduff, Aaron O’ Leary and Cian Crowley kept
the scoreboard ticking over. As we entered the last
ten minutes Valleys kept up the pressure with a
mixture of some outstanding defending from Cathal
O’Sullivan and Brian Hoey and two further goals from
Adam Walsh Murphy saw Valleys run out winners 3-10
to 0-13. Others to score on the day were Ronan
O’Connell and Darragh O’Shea. Valleys now await the
winners of Mallow\St Micheals clash.
