Premier Intermediate Hurling League<br />
On Tuesday March 12th the Rovers PIH team travelled<br />
to Aghada to play their re-arranged league game under<br />
lights. This was the Rovers first outing of the season.<br />
Playing without our college students and promising<br />
minors who were also in action on the night we still<br />
had twenty players togged out.On a crisp, clear night<br />
the lads started well and showed great determi<strong>na</strong>tion<br />
to get on the ball. With the forwards and mid field<br />
moving sharply and the backs sticking close to their<br />
men we registered some early scores through long<br />
range points from Jeremy Hurley, Richie Butler and<br />
Kevin Canty. The Rovers domi<strong>na</strong>ted the game till the<br />
short whistle and courtesy of two Tadhg Fitzgerald<br />
goals led at the break by 2.06 – 0.03<br />
The second half was of the same order with the Rovers<br />
fitness beginning to tell. The teams traded a couple of<br />
points before the Rovers began introducing some<br />
players off the bench. Aghada struggled to cope with<br />
the Rovers ability to spread the play wide with some<br />
crisp ball striking. While Aghada did have a few further<br />
scores the Rovers added points also through Bill<br />
Hawkes, Joe Lynch, Eamon Collins, Tadhg Fitzgerald<br />
and a good strike from John Burke to the Aghada net<br />
killed the game as a contest. Fi<strong>na</strong>l score: Aghada 0.07 –<br />
Valley Rovers 3.13. Prominent for the Rovers in what<br />
was a good team performance were: Conor Lynch,<br />
Chris O’Donovan, Fergal Coughlan, Jeremy Hurley, Bill<br />
Hawkes, Tadhg Fitzgerald and Richie Butler.The starting<br />
team on the night was:<br />
Willie Burke,<br />
Noel O’Donovan, David Lynch, Conor Lynch<br />
C O’Riordan Chris O’Donovan (Capt.) Fergal Coughlan<br />
Darragh Crowley, Jeremy Hurley,<br />
Joe Lynch (R’Hill), Kevin Canty, Richie Butler<br />
Bill Hawkes, Eamon Collins, Tadhg Fitzgerald<br />
Subs used: John Burke for Joe Lynch, Tim Cummins for<br />
Eamon Collins, Shane Hallahan for Richie Butler,Don<br />
Lynch for Fergal Coughlan & Denis Collins for Bill<br />

On Saturday 16th March our under 14 squad ably<br />
assisted by 9 of our u13 partook in the Rebel Og Feile<br />
Peil 2013.<br />
The group consisted of Na Piarsaigh, Bishospstown,<br />
Kilmurry, Youghal and Valley Rovers. As Youghal didn’t<br />
show upon the day there was a total of 3 matches<br />
played in the group. Our first match was against<br />
Kilmurry kicked off at 12.15 just after the arrival of<br />
some of the squad from a match in the city in another<br />
discipline. At Half time Valley rovers were ahead 3 -2 to<br />
0-1. In the 2nd half Kilmurry scored 3-2 versus 0-3 for<br />
Valley rovers but at full time Valley Rovers won by 3-5<br />
to 3-3.<br />
The 2nd match was played v Na Piarsaigh with Valleys<br />
leading at half time 2-1 to 1-3. However in the 2nd half<br />
Na Piarsaigh score 2-3 v Valley Rovers 1-2. Considering<br />
the difference in grading between the 2 clubs the fi<strong>na</strong>l<br />
score of 3-6 to 3-3 was a good result for Valleys with a<br />
sterling effort by all involved.<br />
In the fi<strong>na</strong>l match in the group v Bishopstown, the<br />
tiredness and perhaps the lack of lunch / food intake<br />
saw the best efforts of the combined U13/U14 squad<br />
being insufficient to get a better result against another<br />
club of higher grading than ourselves. Fi<strong>na</strong>l score<br />
Bishopstown 7-4 Valley Rovers 0-1.<br />
Many thanks to all who helped on the day including<br />
our always reliable and regular crew from the U13<br />
squad and Adam Healy’s younger brother Max who<br />
helped out by making up the required numbers for our<br />
planned 1st match v Youghal when we had only 13<br />
available. Despite the results on the day, the<br />
achievement of a win over our old rivals Kilmurry and<br />
by putting up a great show v Na Piarsaigh is very<br />
positive for the football season ahead.
Minor Football League<br />
Our minor footballers continued on their winning ways<br />
with a hard fought victory against Ballincollig on<br />
Tuesday night. Valleys played second fiddle to<br />
Ballincollig for long periods of this match and trailed at<br />
half-time 05 to 03pts. Ballincollig pulled away early in<br />
the second half, leading 1-7 to 0-5 with 12mins left.<br />
Valleys responded well with Stephen O Shea scoring a<br />
goal after a great run by Jack Murphy and Valleys<br />
sealed the win with a second goal by Jack Lyons. The<br />
fi<strong>na</strong>l score was 2-8 to 1-7. Best for Valleys, Brian O<br />
Leary, Ian Crowley, Johnny Kiely and Jack Lyons<br />
U12 Hurling<br />
Valleys U12’s got their season up and running with a<br />
hurling challenge games against Ballygarvan last Friday<br />
night. Playing some good hurling for their first night out<br />
Valleys emerged victorious in 2 games and lost 2<br />
games. We have been training for the past 5 weeks in<br />
the indoor hall in Cloughduv and the lads showed some<br />
good touches at times and we had a great turnout of 24<br />
players.<br />

Dear Coach/Selector,<br />
As I am sure you aware, it is a requirement that all under age mentors be vetted<br />
by the Gardai regarding their suitability as a coach/mentor for our underage players.<br />
As your Garda Vetting Officer, I wish to facilitate this process as speedily as possible.<br />
It is my intention that every mentor should be at least at the stage where their form<br />
has been sent to the GAA through their vetting officer. I wish to complete this process<br />
before the end of March, so I am requesting that all outstanding forms be sent to me<br />
by Friday March 22nd.<br />
The vetting itself is taking a long time, typically months, but our immediate obligation is to get all mentor forms into the<br />
system so that they are in the process of being vetted. If you are already vetted then you must give your vetting officer a<br />
copy of your return letter from the Gardaí. I will keep these on file on behalf of the club. The vetting process is not complete<br />
until you do this. If you have been vetted and have such a letter, then please send me a copy as soon as possible.<br />
Various mentors are at different stages of the process. Some forms have been sent to the GAA, many of you will have a form<br />
which has not yet been processed. No matter which stage of the process you are at, please see the full process below.<br />
All mentors must complete a Garda Vetting Application form which can be found HERE<br />
You must complete the vetting process even if you have been vetted by another organisation previously. Submit your fully<br />
completed form to me before Friday March 22 nd. See below for some tips on completing the forms. Once the form is<br />
complete, I will send it to the Coiste Na Nóg Youth Officer, Marc Sheehan. Marc sends them on to the Garda Vetting Unit on<br />
behalf of the GAA. The result of the vetting is transmitted to you perso<strong>na</strong>lly by the Gardaí. Therefore, you must make the<br />
result known to your vetting officer and give him/her a copy of the Garda correspondence for club records. Vetting is<br />
deemed to be valid for up to five years.<br />
Tips on Filling out the form:<br />
1. Ensure that you answer all questions or put in N/A. Blanks will probably mean the form will be sent back.<br />
2. Fill out all addresses from year of birth to present date. If you are, or ever were, a young mobile person, the GAA are<br />
unlikely to believe that you lived in Innishannon from, for example, 1976 to 2013 without interruption. I expect these forms<br />
to be sent back immediately, so I will not be sending them. Please contact me to discuss.<br />
3. Do not leave out years in your chronology. If where you were living in 1986 is left out of your form, it will be sent back.<br />
4. Under ‘Club’ it is obviously Valley Rovers; ‘team’ is the team you are involved with (e.g. U10) and your role is either<br />
coach or selector.<br />
5. Sign and date the form<br />
NB I have received a few forms where the applicant has stated that they have lived in Innishannon all their lives. While this<br />
may be true for a small number who have lived only in Innishannon, if you had an address while away at College or if you<br />
were away for any period of time, you must account chronologically for these periods. I believe that some of these forms will<br />
just be sent directly back unless the applicants put some details as to where they lived and for what periods. Please see<br />
pointers for the completion of the forms above.<br />
My Email address is daithi.fallon@cit.ie if there are any queries. Alter<strong>na</strong>tively, ring 0879885858 to discuss any issues .<br />
Many Thanks and Best Regards,<br />
Daithí Fallon (Valley Rovers Garda Vetting Officer)<br />
