The Leinster Senior team travelled to take on Dundrum FC yesterday and it proved to be a game full of goals. Rovers produced a first half display of what can only be described as their worst performance of the season. A half littered with mistakes saw the home side hit the break with a commanding lead. The lads found themselves 2-0 down early in play with the only positive in the first period being a twenty minute free kick from Adam Cox which struck the foot of the post. Things only got worse for Rovers as the half progressed with the home team tagging on three further goals to go in at the break 5-0 up. The second half was fifteen minutes old when Rovers pulled one back for what seemed at the time to be just a consolation goal. Then on seventy minutes Rovers pulled another back, was a comeback on the cards and the answer was a definite yes. Two goals in a minute around the seventy fifth minute and another with nine minutes left saw the comeback complete with the game all square at 5-5. Rovers had the momentum and looked to be the side to go on and win but they got caught with a sucker punch deep into injury time as the home side nabbed a sixth to run out 6-5 winners. Dylan Orr fired home an excellent hat-trick, Sam Brown and Paul Newsome added singles. This performance sums up the lads season, it shows the inconsistency in their play. The first half showed the bad side while the second half performance and recent performances against the top two showed with more consistency what this team can achieve. Anyway its back to the drawing board now.
