Valley Rovers v Carrigtwohill @ the Bleach on Saturday

the 9th of September.

While the Valley Rovers under 12s took to the field in

the Plate final of the Martin Muldoon Tournament in

Brinny, the under 15s played Carrigtwohill in a cracking

hurling match in the Bleach in very wet and slippery

conditions.

Valley Rovers got off to a slow start with Carrigtwohill

leading at half time. However, after regrouping at half

time Valley Rovers took the game by the scruff of the

neck and a good contest ensued with Valleys up two

points with a couple of minutes to go however

Carrigtwohill replied with two late points and the

match ended a draw. The final score was Valley Rovers

3-11 to Carrigtwohill 1-17.

FE 15 HURLING P2 League

Valley Rovers under 15s played Blackrock in a hurling

league match last Thursday evening in St. Michaels,

Mahon. Valley Rovers were too strong for Blackrock

and the half time score read 1-7 to 0-4.

The second half saw Blackrock improve somewhat

having many shots on goal but the good goal stopping

by Dylan Huggard and the continuous work of the backs

and midfield recycling plenty of ball allowed all the full

forward line to score goals. At the final whistle, the

score was Valley Rovers 3-11 to Blackrock 1-9.

Well done lads!

quarter final of the P2A football championship played

in Cobh. The first half was closely contested with

Valleys leading by 0-6 to 0-3 at half time.

Valleys took the initiative at the beginning of the

second half recording the first 4 points before Cobh

scored a goal from a penalty. Valleys hit back with a

point before Cobh added a second goal to leave just 2

points between the sides. However Valleys upped

their performance from then on holding Cobh

score of: Cobh 2-3 Valley Rovers 2-17.

U-13 Hurling League

This past week see the P1's make the long trip to

Midleton on Monday evening last. This was an

important game as league points are up for grabs with

only two league games to go. The lads were well

beaten on the night, with Midleton winning the battles

all over the pitch.

It was a heavy defeat on the night for the lads, but the

lads will bounce back quickly for the last league game

against Newtownshandrum on the 23rd September.

The mentor group would like to thank all who made

the trip to Midleton on the night.

U12 Martin Muldoon Memorial Hurling

Tournament

The U12 Martin Muldoon Memorial Hurling

Tournament was held in Brinny on Saturday 08th

September. 4 teams competed in the tournament this

year Kinvara (Galway), Shandrum, Courcey Rovers and

Valley Rovers.

The tournament was opened by Audrey, wife of the

late Martin, who welcomed all on behalf of Aidan and

Joe (brothers of Martin), all the Muldoon family and

Valley Rovers. Despite the drizzle that persisted

throughout the day, it failed to dampen spirits and the

day was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Our U12’s opened the tournament with a game against

Shandrum. This was doubling up as a league game and

with Shandrum near the top of the league it was always

going to be a difficult assignment. However our lads

played extremely well and were very unlucky to

concede a late goal that give Shandrum a one point

winning margin of 2-3 to 2-2. Having made such a huge

effort in the Shandrum game and with a number of

injured players unable to compete on the day our lads

couldn’t reach the levels displayed in the opening game

and lost the other round robin games.

Following the completion of the round robin games

Shandrum and Kinvara contested the cup final, while

Valleys met local neighbours Courcey Rovers in the

plate final.

Plate final: in the plate final Valleys again showed great

determination and skill to reverse the loss to Courceys

in the round robin game.

Valley Rovers 2-3 Courcey Rovers 0-1

Cup final: in the cup final Shandrum continued their

unbeaten run, scoring goals at vital stages and proving

too strong for a gallant Kinvara in a very sporting final.

Shandrum 5-1 Kinvara 2-3

Closing proceedings Audrey Muldoon thanked the four

competing teams for their magnificent displays; all

were a credit to their clubs both on and off the field

during the day.

Aidan and Joe Muldoon then presented plate and cup

to Valley Rovers and Shandrum team captains as well

as medals to all teams.

Kinvara (original home of the Muldoon family) made a

very special presentation of a framed Kinvara jersey to

Audrey which was a very thoughtful gesture to mark

their first visit to the tournament.

A special thanks to Sheila McCarthy and all the ladies

who prepared a beautiful assortment of sandwiches,

home baking and treats, our social committee (Bernice

and Ber) who as always ensured that everyone was

well looked after and catered for on the day and our

referees, including our own young referee Shane Lynch

who did a great job keeping the games flowing and

entertaining. Thanks too to Colm Butler who has

coached our U12 hurlers during the year, travelling to

our games around the county and again giving his time

to coach our lads on Saturday.

Trip to the All-Ireland Camogie final A bus load of Valley Rovers camogie players & mam's

and dad's, travelled to Croke Park last Sunday. It was a

most enjoyable day, with the Cork ladies winning both

the intermediate and senior camogie finals. Valleys also

had the privilege of having players represented on the

Cork U14 teams which paraded around the pitch at the

interval, after competing in the All-Ireland U14 Blitz the

previous day. Well done to them.
