Inniscarra fall as happy Valley finally beginning to fire
Just under a month ago, the Innishannon side’s status in the grade was in peril as they trailed Watergrasshill by nine points at half-time in their third-round clash. They managed to salvage a draw before winning the replay and now sit in the last eight, previous losses to Blarney and Ballyhea a distant memory.
Rovers worked hard as a unit, each sector answering questions when called upon. In attack, Eamon Collins and Eoin Manning did most of the damage, scoring 1-5 apiece, the latter also putting in a good late shift as a sweeper in the face of Inniscarra pressure. His effort solidified a defence that did well, anchored by the excellent Chris O’Donovan, while Ray O’Donovan and Richard Butler provided a good balance in midfield.
