Newmarket were never in trouble
NEWMARKET qualified to meet either Grange or Douglas in the semi-final of the county junior football championship when they scored an easy win (1-11 to 0-5) over Valley Rovers at Coachford on Sunday. The Duhallow champions were in control right through the game and their margin would have been far greater if it hadn’t been for very erratic shooting.
