Super second-half show sees Valley home

Valley Rovers 1-14 Kiskeam 1-07

Trailing 1-5 to 0-4 at half-time after playing against the wind, the Innishannon side limited their opponents to just two points — one right at the end — as they were rampant at the other end.

Valley’s progression to a semi-final with Macroom comes on the back of last week’s U21AFC final win over Clonakilty, with seven of those players starting and two more coming on. Despite the half-time deficit, they never panicked and coach Paul Cronin paid tribute to his side’s composure shown.
