Deasy opening the scoring with a point and Susan O’Leary added to this with a pointed free before Blackrock opened their account after five minutes. Blackrock added a goal shortly after to give them the lead after twelve minutes before both teams exchanged points twice. Valley Rovers had goal chances throughout the half, but the Blackrock defence stood strong. Blackrock added further points on the stroke of halftime to put Blackrock four points clear at halftime on a score line of Blackrock 1-5 Valley Rovers 0-4. On the resumption and playing with the aid of the breeze Valley Rovers once again hit the ground running and Katie Lynch hand passed the ball to the Blackrock net within two minutes to reduce the margin to the minimum. There was little between the teams over the course of hour and Blackrock extended their lead to three again through two pointed frees after ten minutes of second half. In the following ten minute period Valleys narrowed the gap to two points outscoring Blackrock three points to two. Following a good passage of play involving a number of the Valleys attack, Valleys were awarded a penalty when Susan O’Leary was grounded in the square. The resulting penalty was saved, in the aftermath Susan O’Leary was fouled again and she pointed the resulting free to leave the deficit at the minimum with just four minutes of normal time remaining. With just one minute of normal time remaining 2016’s leading scorer Eileen Foley rifled the ball to the Blackrock net after gathering a Susan O’Leary forty-five which had rebounded off the post to put Valley Rovers in front for the first time since the opening minutes of the game. In injury time Blackrock tried vigorously to bridge the gap, but the Valley Rovers defence were holding strong as a unit with trojan work from all. Blackrock were limited to just a point in the sixth minute of injury time, before John Horgan blew for full time. The full time score was Valley Rovers 2-8 Blackrock 1-10.

Having defeated Ballinhassig in the first round our u21 hurlers were drawn to meet Glen Rovers in the last 16 of the u21 Premier hurling championship in Pairc Ui Rinn on Thurs Oct 26th. Conditions were damp and foggy on the night and the Valleys started slowly with the Glen hitting 4 points without reply in the first 10 minutes. However the lads soon settled to their task and brought themselves back into the game going in at half time level with the Glen on 7pts each. In the second half Valleys upped the tempo and took some smart scores to lead by 0-14 to 0-10 after 50 mins. A well taken goal by Valleys put further daylight between them and their city opponents and with a couple of minutes left in

normal time Valleys were ahead 1-15 to 0-12. However a resilient Glen Rovers side fought back and struck for 2 late goals after some panicked defending from Valleys and a couple of close in frees. With the sides level after full time we headed for extra time with the momentum now seemingly with Glen Rovers. However the Valleys lads refused to buckle and stayed with the Glen during the first period of extra time. In the second period of extra time the lads show real resolve and tagged on the all-important scores to win by 1-21 to 2-16 after an epic contest. Obviously this was a great win but Valleys will be disappointed they left Glen Rovers back into the match in the last couple of minutes of normal time. Further improvement will be needed as we now await the winners of Douglas v Charleville in the next round.

MINOR On Tuesday 24th Oct Valley Rovers U18 footballers played Ilen Rovers in the semi final of the Premier 2A Championship. On a wet night both teams started tentatively, Valleys settled and had registered 1-01 to no score after 15 minutes, the goal scored by Jack Crowley, it was 1-03 to 0-01 after 21 minutes, with Cathal Manning adding another goal on the 22nd minute, Valleys extended their lead to 2-07 to 0-03 at half time. Ilen scored the first two points of the second half and after 47 minutes valleys lead 2-10 to 0-07. Valleys substitutes made the desired impacts when introduced and we scored another 4 goals in the final 10 minutes before Conor Hurley scored a long range point to leave the final score Valley Rovers 6-11 to Ilen Rovers 0-10. This was a very good team performance with Conor Hurley and Jack Crowley leading from the front and everybody making a positive contribution. We now face Kilshannig on Sat 4th Nov in the final.

Page 4 of 7
Valleys leading by 5 points after 15 mins. A valleys goal prior to half time kept the score line ticking over but went into the break behind on a score line 1-10 to 1-2. Glanmire kept up the pressure and only for three outstanding saves from Denny Kiely the game would have been out of reach. Glanmire led by 6 point entering the closing stages only for valleys to hit the post and the crossbar in the last few minutes the game could have gone any way. Glanmire held out to win on a score line of 1-15 to 1-9.

UNDER 12 Our u12 hurlers qualified to play Carrigtwohill in the P1 hurling final. Having lost the toss for venue. We travelled to Carrigtwohill on Monday Oct 23rd to play under lights in front of a large home attendance. Our lads started slowly and were second best to their opponents in the early stages. However the lads soon settled into the match and found themselves 3 points down at half time having missed a couple goal opportunities. The second half was a struggle for our lads and again we found it difficult to get scores. Carrigtwohill on the other hand found scores easier to come by and a few late scores flattered them on the score board. The final score was 3-08 to 1-03. Overall it was a disappointing finish to the year for these lads but no doubt they will learn from it and come back stronger in the coming years. They had an outstanding run in the league winning 9 of their 11 games to finish third and a great semi -final win against Shandrum. Their attitude at training and matches throughout the year was excellent and they deserve great credit for qualifying for a Premier 1 hurling final. Team: Danny O'Brien Ronan Kelleher Ruairi O'Donovan Ted McGrath Daniel Lynch Matthew Woods Fionn Nash Ciaran Hoey Eoin Guinane Sean O'Connor Kevin Dart O'Flynn Dave Carthew Shane Ryan Connor Desmond Sean McEntee Subs: Callum Rearden, Kieran Kelleher, Joshua Woods, Ciaran Brady, Enda Muldoon, Adam Lynch, Callum Fennelly.
