Valley Rovers 0-16 Dromina 0-13\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Valley Rovers produced a fine performance to knock out North Cork champions Dromina in the Co-Op Superstore Junior A Hurling Championship at Whitechurch.<\/p>\n
The South East side will now take on another second team in Killeagh after they squeezed past Newmarket after a penalty shootout. The other semi-final will see first-time Muskerry winners Donoughmore<\/a>target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”> against Diarmuid \u00d3 Math\u00fanas<\/a> from West Cork.<\/p>\n This game ended in controversy as, with less than four minutes remaining, Dromina were awarded a close-in free and while Diarmuid Buckley dispatched the ball to the net to tie up the contest, referee David Daly awarded a free out for an infringement, with Charlie Finn receiving a yellow card. From there, Valleys held on to cause an upset.<\/p>\n Valleys almost had the perfect start, earning a penalty, but former Cork U20 goalkeeper Daniel O\u2019Connell brilliantly saved Eoghan Galgey\u2019s effort. Galgey and Ciar\u00e1n McCarthy registered points soon after to nudge them two ahead.<\/p>\n The sides were level after Chris Dunne and Cork U20 Bobby Carroll found the target. Galgey responded but scores from David Jones, Jack Morrissey and John Murphy had Dromina two in front. It could have been more but a Buckley goal chance whizzed wide.<\/p>\n Galgey and Ciar\u00e1n McCarthy levelled matters, but points from the impressive Jones (2) and Buckley, to a single Connor Taheny point, made it 0-8 to 0-6 at the break.<\/p>\n Galgey (2) and Eoghan Kilduff scored on the resumption for Valleys but Jones landed two more. The Carrigdhoun side were 0-14 to 0-11 up with 10 minutes left as Eoin O\u2019Reilly cut loose with three points.<\/p>\n Jones and Galgey swapped scores before the controversy over the free. Another point from Buckley late on wasn’t enough for Dromina.<\/p>\n \n Scorers for Valley Rovers: E Galgey 0-8 (0-7 f), E O\u2019Reilly 0-3, C McCarthy 0-2, Kevin Dart O\u2019Flynn, C Taheny, C Kilduff 0-1 each.<\/p>\n \n Dromina: D Jones 0-7 (0-4 f), B Carroll 0-2, D Buckley, C Dunne, J Morrissey, J Murphy 0-1 each.<\/p>\n \n VALLEY ROVERS: J.
