Rousing recovery

-

catch from Reid in the midfield. Neat play with ever member of the half forward line allowed the dangerous wing forward the opportunit­y to fire home a well taken goal.

However, this lead would be cancelled out moments later with the previously mentioned goal from Cormac Byrne. Both teams traded a point each before Byrne levelled things up with three frees and two fine scores from Padraig Waterton, with the pick of his scores coming from an assist to Hugh Naughton.

Valleymoun­t almost wrapped things up in this period but Stevie Donohue playing in his bare hands turned a Reid pile-driver over the crossbar. At the other end Conor Harpur was also being kept busy and produced a fine save of his own.

Valleymoun­t were playing against a team with momentum but rallied to score two unanswered points coming into the dying moments but two scores when they attacked at pace by midfielder­s Reid and Condon looked to have steadied their course.

With two minutes remaining a Padraig Waterton point reduced the arrears to one and a goalmouth scramble almost see them clinch full honours but Valleymoun­t miraculous­ly kept them at bay.

With the game in injury time, a Coolkenno free dropped short but found its way out to veteran Colin Murphy who fittingly supplied the score to level this highly enjoyable clash.

Scorers - Coolkenno: Cormac Byrne (1-4), Padraig Waterton (0-3), Colin Murphy (0-2), Hugh Naughton, Karl Timmons (0-1) each.
