Rovers brush off goal flurry to down Barr’s
They trailed by two points at half-time, but pointed frees from Richie Butler on either side of a well-taken Eoin Manning goal within six minutes of the resumption put them into a lead they never relinquished.
Having lost players to the senior team on Saturday night, St Finbarrs lined out with a number of alterations from the published line-out, including a different half-forward line. A Shane Nott goal in the ninth minute gave them encouragement after Valley Rovers took the lead through Kevin Canty, but for a long time afterwards they found it hard to make progress.
