This U16 league game was played in good conditions in Cappoquin. Valley had come into this game undefeated and as favourites to win. However, Cappoquin got the perfect start when after 2 minutes they scored a goal when a through ball evaded Valley keeper Shane Martin and was neatly tucked away by the Cappoquin forward. It took Valley 10-15 minutes to settle into their rhytm. After 25 mins Valley got the deserved equaliser when Tom Hartnett went on a run down the right hand side and drove a ball across the 6 yd box to Ivan Ohrim to converted well. Valley got 2 more before half time through Harry Draper and Jake O'Brien. Shane Martin saved well from Cappoquin just before half time. In the second half Valley dominated the game with Ethan Scotthin, Kyle Wallace, Dan Roche and Cian Doyle very solid in defence. An excellent ball over the top was finished well by Harry Draper for his second. Shortly after that, Tom scooped a lovely ball over the Cappoquin defence which was plucked from the sky by Jake O'Brien who then turned and slotted home his second. Jack Murphy then scored his first after a lovely ball from Tom and then Jake got his hat-trick after some nice work on the left hand side. James Hayes and Cillian Fitzpatrick worked hard through midfield and attack. Stephen Roche and Ben O'Connor also had good games from Defence. The last 2 goals were scored from Kyle Wallace, a fine header from a corner and a peach of a second goal from Jack Murphy which flew into the top corner from the outside of his left foot which was a fitting end to the game. Final Score Cappoquin 1-9 Valley.
