Cork SFL: Valley Rovers the early pace-setters after win over St Finbarr’s
The Innishannon outfit, whose Tadhg Crowley Cup final win over Clonakilty had counted as a league win too, were 1-7 to 0-8 winners in Togher. David Lynch’s long-range second-half goal proved the key score after the hosts had led at half-time.
County champions Castlehaven began their campaign with a home win against Nemo Rangers in a repeat of last year’s final. They made use of the wind in the first-half for a 2-11 to 0-9 victory. The Haven had the win as good as secured by half-time, when they led 1-8 to 0-0. Cathal Maguire with the goal. Seánie Cahalane added frees while Conor Nolan and Stephen Hurley were also on the scoresheet. Three Conor Horgan frees got Nemo off the mark on the resumption, but on 43 minutes the Haven struck for the crucial score as Shane Nolan got their second goal.
