SENIOR B
Valley Rovers 2.08 V Blackrock 1.10
Our senior B girl contested their second consecutive
county final on Sunday, going into the game as the
underdogs. Valley Rovers started the brighter with Orla
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.
Jennifer Murphy was named player of the match with
an outstanding performance in defence.

Valley Rovers will now play Senior A camogie for 2018, a
new adventure for all but that’s something to saviour
over the winter months. Valley Rovers Camogie would
like to thank to everyone who played their part within
the club along the way to get Valley Rovers to Senior A
status, not just this year but over the years in making this
bunch of girls what they have become. And a special
thanks this year’s management Mark Prendergast and
our own Mary Crowley (who has been involved in the
club from day one all of 30 years ago)

ADULT CLUB
UNDER 21 HURLING
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
Page 4 of 7
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.

JUVENILE
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.

Valleys U16 P2 footballers travelled to Glanmire to
play their league semi-final last Wednesday night.
Glanmire started brightly and took the game to
Page 5 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.

Thursday night to play Ballincollig in the C3 championship.
Valleys started well and kicked a number of good scores.

O’Sullivan had valleys leading 3-14 to 0-1 at half time.
Ballincollig were missing a number of players due to U15
championship the following night. Valleys kept up the
pressure in the second half with some excellent scores
from play and frees. Valleys ran out comfortable winners
on a score line of 3-25 to 0-1. Valleys now meet
Carrigaline in the final.

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.
