Victory For Minor Hurlers In League Final Valley Rovers minor hurlers completed the double of league titles with a hard fought but well deserved win over St Colman s who are the reigning county premier 2 hurling champions in Brinny today Sunday November 22nd. This game was played on a pitch that was in excellent condition, again thanks to Con Murphy for all his hard work. As in the football final last week Valley s played the first half with the aid of the strong wind and opened the scoring with a well taken point from play by Sean O Regan in the 1st minute. This was followed by 2 pointed frees in the 6th and 11th minute, the first by Sean O Regan and the 2nd by Chris O Leary. The score of the game came in the 17th minute when Colman s had our defence under pressure, the ball was cleared out to Aidan Sheehan on the wing and from over 100 metres he sent the ball over the bar. This gave our lads a 4 point lead. St Colman s got their first score in the 18 minute when they converted a close range free. Sean O Regan converted 2 frees in the 21st and 25th minute to extend the lead to 5 points. Colman s again converted a free in the 29th minute to leave our lads with a 4 point lead at the break. St Colman s started the 2nd half with a goal inside the first minute and were intent on showing why they are the county champions. Valley s responded well with 2points one a free scored by Chris O Leary in the 2nd minute and another from play by Sean O Regan in the 6th minute. From here to the 20th minute scores were exchanged evenly leaving the score at Valley s 12 points to St Colman s 1.6 with 10 minutes to go. Over the last 10 minutes valley s had to defend bravely with Colman s picking of 2 points one from play in the 26th minute and another from a 65 in the 29th minute to leave just a point between the teams. The introduction of Adam Settini had a big impact and when he hit the net for a goal in the last minute we knew it was our day. This has been a long season but has ended well with 2 league titles. On behalf of both the Football and Hurling management teams I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the players for their effort and commitment during the year and to wish them well in the future at adult grade..

Valley Rovers Camogie AGM 2015 Valley Rovers Camogie facilitated their AGM for 2015 on Friday the 20 th November in Brinny GAA Club. This was well attended, and was great to see new names take up positions as committee officers and mentors. This proves that the club is working hard at all levels to progress the game. The Secretary s report that summarised the clubs achievements was very impressive. The Chairperson Address covered the following details such as, highlights of the year, acknowledgements, and key Opportunities for the club in 2016. Key Highlights. We recruited over twenty young new players in our joint Camogie / Football recruitment drive by visiting all the schools in the parish As a club we achieved full Croke Park Child Protection certification in 2015 Successful partnership with the ladies football fundraiser initiative ( Golden Goal). I think we can appreciate a lot of work and effort was put in by a lot of members, however there is more work and effort required as our ticket sales achieved an 85% sell through in comparison to a 99% sell through in year one. Great year for under age, such asunder 10s winning the Tony Jeffers Shield, and also playing plenty of games to keep their skills in tact.. U12s runners up in the county final. We played tough but diverse teams. We put away, Ballinhassig, Bishopstown, Rock Ban, Banteer, Carrigaline. We beat Newcestown in the qtr final. We beat Aghabullogue in the semi final, and lost out narrowly to Eire Og in the County Final. Congratulations to Eire Og. U11s topped the South East league, and will play Tracton in the final in Tracton on December 4 th. Under 16s Runners Up in their County Final who lost out to Bride Rovers, after a pretty successful run in the championship winning all up to the final. Congratulations to Bride Rovers. Senior B team qualifying for the Munster Semi final. We took a bus of young players to this year s All Ireland. Highly recommended again. Congratulations to Lisa Lynch who represented us on the Cork Senior panel where she won Senior All Ireland medal. Lisa also won a minor football Munster Final medal for Cork-where she was also player of the Match. She was absent on the night as she was attending a County medal presentation. Earlier in the year we agreed to produce a code of Behaviour for the club. I would like to thank Mark Ronan who co-authored it with me. His great insight as a member of the Bandon Rugby club was very helpful. I would like to acknowledge all successes in the Ladies Football, the Adult club, and the Juvenile club. We along with the Footballers are interested in a medal presentation night, as we know this is good for promoting the game and succession planning. Acknowledgements for 2015 Thank all those who attended the meetings during the year. To all committee members who work behind the scenes. There is a lot of time and effort put in solving issues, arranging matches, agreeing over lapping calendar details with our Ladies football colleagues. Thank You. A huge thank you to all our Coaches within the club. WOW have we got some enthusiastic and dedicated coaches, this is why our young players are achieving what they are. We have achieved so much in 2015 in the various age groups and we have so much more to contribute. I would like to thank Sean Michael our outgoing Page 4 of 5
Secretary for all his time and effort and support during the year. Thank you to Alice O Sullivan for her dedication and time in her role as treasurer. I couldn t do it for the world. I would like to thank all who helped to organise our non starter fun run. A lot of work goes in to planning an event, and it s hard when we cannot see it through. We plan to reschedule it in February 2016. We would love to see more people come on board and get involved with events like this. On behalf of the club we would like to thank John Murphy and his team for the great companionship during our combined golden goal fundraiser. It is important that clubs such as ours pull together, and work together for the welfare of all our common players in both clubs. I want to Thank Con Murphy for his help and true dedication to the up keep of Brinny. I don t know if there are anyone else out there who could or would do his job. It s a multi task in itself. Con you cannot keep everyone happy, and I include myself in there, but you are a good friend to the Camogie club. I would ask whoever is selected as the executive delegate to please bring that word for word to their AGM meeting next Tuesday. Another great friend is our own Executive PRO John Lynch. No job is to big, no time is inconvenient, I have often chatted to John via email, on the 9 th hour before publishing, or as late as 11pm some evenings. Thank you John for helping us promote Camogie. Social Media can play such an important role in our game. I would like to thank all the parents, for their dedication in seeing it through, getting their young fine players out to training and games. We hope you can help us going forward to keep talking and promoting the great positive attitude of the game to all concerned. I like to thank all who has helped with the Brinny Car Parking, at various camogie games. Camogie Committee for 2016 Vice Chairperson Secretary Vice Secretary Treasurer P.R.O.
