Collins on form as Valleys climb over The Hill

VALLEY ROVERS finished well to revitalise their Cork Premier IHC hopes by overcoming Watergrasshill in a third-round replay at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

Having started well, they were forced to endure a good period from their opponents in the middle period of the first half, but never trailed after that and did enough to set up a meeting with Inniscarra in the next round.

Captain and wing-back Jeremy Hurley was his usual consistent self, tidying up well and contributing four fine frees, while Eamonn Collins accounted for 1-6 of his side’s total.
