Result: Lismore 2 - 3 Valley

Valley travelled to Castle Farm grounds last saturday as undefeated league leaders to play an improving Lismore side. Valley had a changed side as they were missing their two regular centre halves and they took time to settle into the game. Lismore came storming out of the blocks and dominated the first 20 minutes and deseved their 1-0 lead and could have scored a few more. However, Valley slowly started to dominate and got their just rewards when a Tom H cross from the right hand side into the box was flicked on by Harry Draper and met by Jake O'Brien to score Valley's opener. Valley kept the pressure on and a great run down the right by David and a superb cross was dispatched into the Lismore goal by Cillian. Valley led 2-1 at half time. The second half was end to end stuff and chances were falling at both ends. Lismore got a well deserved equaliser within 15 minutes of the restart. However 10 minutes later Harry Draper was taken down in the penalty area and David duly converted the spot kick for Valley to take a 3-2 lead. In the last 15 mins there were chances at both ends but Valley held out to take maximim points.
