Hard luck to our WDFL A side who went down 4-3 to St Peters in the final of the pre-season tournament, this is a game the lads definitely left behind them. Peters went in front after seven minutes, but Rovers hit back with a screamer from Alan Power after twenty minutes when his twenty five yarder flew into the top right hand corner of the net. The first half was even enough with both sides having chances, Conor Clack made two good saves for Rovers with the Peters keeper doing likewise. Peters went 2-1 up seven minutes before the break. Four minutes into the second half Rovers gave away a sloppy penalty which was converted to give the Bray side a 3-1 lead. This was to signal a complete dominance from Rovers for the remainder of the game creating chance after chance. After fifty eight minutes Alan Power swung the ball over to the back post to find his brother Jamie who coolly slotted home to make it 3-2. It was all Rovers and with eight minutes left Luca Rampersaud ran at the Peters defence resulting with a foul that led to the awarding of a penalty. Up stepped Adam Cuddihy who calmly fired to the top right hand corner of the net, 3-3 and game on. Rovers were in total command in the second period and rued thrir missed chances when unfortunately for Rovers Peters went in front with a header from a corner with five minutes left on the clock totally against the run of play. Peters ran out winners on a 4-3 scoreline, but the lads deserved more from the game. Hard luck to Boodhan, Tom, Eoghan and the team.
