The Visitors had the better of the opening quarter and lead by four points to two with Eoghan Delaney and Adam Settini getting the Valleys points. As the first half wore on Valleys came more in to the game, points from Eoin O'Reilly, Pa Hurley and Eoin Delaney lead after 20 minutes. A goal from Eoghan Delaney right on half time gave Valleys a half time lead of 1-05 to 0-05. Courceys Made the better start to the second half and were ahead by a point within the opening five minutes. The lead changed hands several times in the second half and in the last minute with Valleys ahead by a point, a Fearghal Lyons point was waved wide by the ref despite both umpires and the Courcey Rovers goal keeper all putting their hands up to signal a point. A pointed free from the visitors in injury time left the full time score Valley Rovers 1-09 Courcey Rovers 1-09.

UNDER 13’s Sarsfields 4-7 Valley Rovers 0-6. Our U13 hurlers travelled to Riverstown for their first P2 league game on Sunday evening. Sars started well and by the 20th minute had opened up a 3-05 to 0-00 score. A few positional switches during the half eventually helped settle our lads and we performed much better for the 10 minutes coming up to the short whistle, closing down the supply of ball into Sars forward line and running at their backs which yielded our first score, to leave the half time score at 3-05 to 0-01. We asked our players to go out and do themselves justice in the second half and everyone responded magnificently scoring the first 3 points of the half and were unlucky with a few goal chances. Unfortunately Sars scored a breakaway goal, but we kept up the standard tacking on another 2 points to match Sars score in the second half. Sars are one of the top teams in our league having regraded from P1 last year so our strong showing after their initial scoring burst, especially in the second half will give confidence to all that we can perform well in this league over the course of the season. Training continues in Brinny every Tuesday evening from 6pm to 7.30pm. Panel vs. Sars. Adam Casey, Aaron White, Brian Lordan, Cian Johnson, Conor Hoban, Charlie O’Sullivan, Dylan O’Driscoll, Donnacha Galgey, Evan O’Shea, Evan Hennessy, James O’Sullivan, Joshua Murphy, Jonathan O’Leary, John Neary, Jason Kelleher, Jerry O’Connor, Jack LeStrange.
