Valley Rovers Junior B Footballers took on Carrigaline in

the South-East league on Thursday night in Carrigaline.

In the opening quarter it was the home side that had

most of play but on the score board it was 0-3 each with

the Valleys points coming from Shane O'Leary, Bill

Hawkes and Shaun Crowley. Into the second quarter the

home side got the opening goal of the game in the 17th

minute of the game Valleys responded with a point

from Scott Deane after good build up play from Ben

Murphy, Michael Crowley and Chris Hayes, Carrigaline

had most of the play and lead at half time by 1-9 to 0-5

with the Valleys point coming from Chris Hayes after a

good pass from Tasso Diaz. Into the second half it was

Valleys who made the better start. A Shane O'Leary goal

from a penalty after Brendan Lynch had been fouled.

points from Colm Butler and Shane O'Leary reduced the

Carrigaline lead to two points. The home side upped

their game kicking two points . Valleys scored their

second goal from Scott Deane after a pass from Tasso

Diaz. Both sides then kicked two points each with the

Valleys points coming from Shaun Crowley and Chris

Hayes. Valleys kept trying til the end but could not get

an equalizer. Two Carrigaline points in injury time left

the full time score Valley Rovers 2-9 Carrigaline 1-15.

Despite the result this was a very good performance

from every player. Special Mention must also go to

Tasso Diaz (Pictured below) who was appearing for the

first time in a Valley Rovers jersey. Tasso, a native of

Brazil . Playing his first game made a telling

contribution being involved a lot of the good thing

Valleys did during the game. All his new team mates

gave him a round of applause after the match in

recognition of his performance .

CAMOGIE

U14 County Camogie League Round 2

Ballinora 6-04 Valley Rovers 3-01

Teams: Ballinora v Valley Rovers

Venue: Waterfall

Date: 24 Apr 2017

The Play: Valley Rovers travelled to play Ballinora in

their latest under 14 A camogie league fixture. Valleys

were without four regular players but put up a whole

Page 3 of 6

hearted performance against a talented & very

sporting Ballinora side. Ballinora started the better &

took a commanding first half lead 3-3 to 1-0. The

second half was a great battle and Valleys scored two

early goals to get within five points but Ballinora

scored two late goals to secure the win. Full credit to

the Valley Rovers girls who gave it their all on a very

wet & cold night in Waterfall.

Team:E Kelly,

S Lordan N Crowley H Morrissey

Next up: Valley Rovers play in the féile in Enniskeane

Camogie Féile 2017

Competition: Féile Camogie ‘A’ Group stage,

Venue : Enniskeane

Date: 29/4/17

Teams: Enniskeane, Valley Rovers, Éire Óg,

Aghabullogue, Ballinora

Matches: Valleys played a very entertaining draw

versus Enniskeane in their first game and were very

unlucky not to get the win here . In the second Game,

Ballinora had too much firepower and ran out winners

by four points. Our third match was against

Aghabollogue, an injury to Fiona Twohig spurred

Valleys into action and ran out deserved winners to

leave us needing a win in our last game to qualify for

Camogie A Finals – Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, as

the injurys to Fiona & Laoise Collins along with a heavy

schedule of four games without a break resulted in a

tired performance in the last match against a strong

Éire Óg side who ran out worthy winners.

Result: Enniskeane & Éire Óg progress to the final on

Sunday in Castle road, a tiring but enjoyable day in wet

conditions was had by all. Thanks to the parents,

coaches & especially the girls for giving us great

entertainment. Unfortunately Rebecca Lordan was

unable to play & Clionadh Prendergast was injured

during our midweek game.

Panel: R Dawkins (Captain), L Collins, C Flynn, O O’

Sullivan, N Crowley, M, Lynch, T Gilli, S Lordan, K

Lynch, F Horgan, H Morrissey, G Geary, C Higgins, G O’

With only the C3’S in action over the weekend, we

welcomed Inniscarra to Brinny in a football league

fixture on Sunday afternoon.

Valleys played with the wind in the first half and

started strong by getting an early goal, Valleys

continued to take some excellent scores which was

enough to take a lead into half time.

In the second half Inniscarra came out strong playing

with the wind, as in the first half Inniscarra looked

dangerous on the break taking some excellent points,

but an excellent defensive display from Valley Rovers

combined with some excellent scores. It was Valley

Rovers took the win in the end.
