Our Wicklow League side took on Avonmore in the semi-final of the pre-season tournament in Celtic Park in Arklow this afternoon. The lads got off to a flyer when Alan Power gave them an early lead. Rovers took the game to the Rathdrum side and were in total control of the tie come the half time break after they added further goals from Jamie Power and Sam Brown to send them in at the interval 3-0 to the good. Rovers continued with their high intensity pressing game in the second period and it paid off when they added two more goals from Jack Kelly and Shane Cranny. Avonmore nabbed a consolation goal but Rovers had put the game to bed in the first half. This was an excellent all round team performance from Rovers to run out 5-1 winners and now sets them up for the final next Sunday against St Peters.
