Valley Rovers hit the peaks when it mattered most

Valley knew they were in a tight group with scores of paramount importance and while they didn’t need them in the final analysis - with champions Nemo beaten by Douglas - a 5-12 tally was smart scoring and should set them up nicely for their quarter-final with Castlehaven.
