This was a very competitive game in their second meeting of the season. Valley entered the game as favourites Top of the Table and undefeated. This was a much improved Castlebridge side from the first outing of the season. The game started at a furious pace with both teams battling hard and not giving an inch. After 9 mins, Valley got the opener when a lovely through ball from Ivan Ohrim was pounced on by Harry Draper who prodded the ball past the oncoming keeper to put Valley 1-0 up. valley were starting to get on top in midfield with James Hayes and Jake O'Brien working well and it was the latter who got the second Valley goal after 25 mins. Castlebridge started to gain more possession and tested the excellent Valley defence of kyle Waalace, Dan Roche, Ethan Scotthin and Cian Doyle (and later Stephen Roche). Valley goalkeeper Shane Martin marshalled the Valley defence well throughout the game. Castlebridge were unlucky not to score prior to half time. At halftime Valley led 2-0. The second half was a competitive affair again with both teams playing some lovely passing foootball. It was Valley who got the decisive third goal 20 minutes into the second half when a cross from David McDonnell was plucked from the sky by Tom Hartnett and volleyed into the bottom corner. 10 minutes later David McDonnell scored a lovely goal high into the top corner of the net. Alex Murphy converted a consolation penalty for Castlebridge in the last minute. Final Score Valley 4-1 Castlebridge.
