Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship

Valley Rovers had an excellent victory over Mallow on

Saturday in the Premier Intermediate Hurling

Championship on the score of 1-16 to 0-08. Valleys lead

from start to finish with an expertly taken goal from

Minor Eoin O’Reilly within a minute giving the Rovers

the ideal start. Mallow responded with a point, before

the ever dangerous Kevin Canty brought a superb

reaction save out of the Mallow custodian who

deflected the shot out for a 65. Chris O’Leary duly

slotted the 65 between the post. Mallow got another

point back before Valleys went on a scoring spree with

Kevin Canty, Richie Butler (2), Jeremy Hurley & Eoin

O'Reilly all scoring points. Mallow than traded a point a

piece with Eoin O'Reilly before dominating the last 10

minutes of the half scoring the next 4 points with Richie

Butler scoring a free on the stroke of Half time to leave

the score Valley Rovers 1-8 Mallow 0-7 at the short

whistle. Valleys started the second half brightly with

two Richie Butler frees inside a minute. The scoring

dried up after this with Sub Billy Crowley getting the

only score in the next 18 minutes. Two more Richie

Butler frees and a point each from Eoin O’Reilly and

Kevin Canty and Billy Crowley concluded the Rovers

scoring . Valleys did soak up some good Mallow

pressure including a late penalty that came off the post,

but the defence coped admirable with the challange on

the night. Valleys controlled this game for long periods

and finished the game with 5 minors having played,

which augers well for the future. Valleys are now

through to the quarter final where they play near

neighbours Newcestown. Team.

U21 B Hurling South East Final

Valley Rovers second U21 team took on Tracton’s first

team in the U21 B Hurling South East Final in Belgooly

last Thursday night. Despite having numerous subs

Tracton refused to play 15 a side and Valleys were

forced to take off two of the selected 15 and thus four

players were deprived the opportunity to play in a

South East Final as the game was played as 13 a side.

Tracton got off to the better start with the breeze

scoring the first three points of the game. Valleys

responded with a Cathal Dart O’Flynn point followed

by a Donal O’Brien free and a 65. Tracton scored the

next 3 points but the Rovers responded emphatically.

Firstly Donal O’Brien scored a free, then Johnny Kielly

soloed through the heart of the Tracton defence

before expertly finishing to the bottom corner of the

net. Two minutes later, following fantastic work from

Cathal Dart O’Flynn, whose right wing cross was

gathered and sent to the Tracton net for a goal of

quality by Johnny Kiely for Valleys and his second

Goal. Donal O’Brien added a free before halftime to

leave the score Valley Rovers 2-5 to Tracton 0-7.

Valleys resumed the second half like they ended the

first scoring two more Donal O’Brien free before

Tracton took over the scoring. Firstly they got a well

taken goal and followed that with three further points.

Goal Keeper Donnacha O’Driscoll scored a long range

free to put Valleys in front again on 49 minutes. And 2

points in 4 minutes put Tracton in front. Valleys

responded immediately with a Donal O’Brien free.

Antoher free put Tracton in front until Donal O’Brien

popped up on the 60th minute to equalise. Valleys had

a couple of chances in injury time to snatch the victory

but will be happy with a draw where these young men

showed tremendous heart and skill over the 60 odd

minutes. Final Score Valley Rovers 2-10 Tracton 1-13

U9 hurling

Our u9 hurlers travelled to Fermoy last Saturday for

the latest Rebel Og hurling blitz. We had a very good

turnout of 19 players and we were able to enter 2

teams. The teams we played were St Vincents, Brian

Dillons, Cobh & Erins Own. The lads played very well in

all their matches and in particular had very skillful and

competitive encounters with Cobh and Erins Own.

There was some excellent score taking and high

catching on display. It was also noticeable that the

players are improving their defensive skills in particular

hooking and blocking. We would particularly like to

thank Fermoy GAA club for being excellent hosts on

the day. Thanks also to the parents and supporters

who gave great encouragement to the Valley lads.

As always we urge the lads to keep practising at home

and attend training. More football and hurling blitzes

coming up over the next few weeks. The players who

played in the blitz were as follows:

Ben O Sullivan, Ciaran Hoey, Daniel Lynch, Dara

McCarthy, David Carthew, Declan Cronin, Emile

Moisy, Enda Manning, Enda Muldoon,

Eoin Guinane,Kevin Dart O'Flynn, Luke O'Sullivan,

Matthew Woods, Paul Burke, Ray Snapes, Seán Mac

On Saturday morning last, the victorious Valley Rovers

Munster League Champions bought their silverware to

the girls U8s, U10s and U12s training in Brinny. The

Munster cup and got advise on how to improve their

skills for the years to come from captain Liz Buglar.
