O'Brien: 'Those two goals were massive, as was keeping them out at the other end'

Relegation-battling Carrigaline were neck and neck with their opponents until the 44th minute when Kevin Canty found the net. Valleys immediately added three points via Canty, Charlie Lyons and Colm Butler (free) to make it 1-17 to 0-16.
