Our under 18’s welcomed league leaders St Patricks to Whitegates this afternoon. On a blustery afternoon Rovers ran out deserved winners after putting in a very impressive display. Rovers started on the front foot pressing for the opening goal creating several good chances from corners and open play. Rovers went in front when they were awarded a free kick wide on the left, Luke Dunne swung over the resulting free to find Alex Sinnott at the back and he made no mistake with a bullet header across the keeper into the top corner to send the sides in at the break with Rovers one up. Early in the second period Rovers doubled the lead from a corner with Luke Dunne the provider again and Alex Sinnott scoring his second from close in. Credit to the away team they came back into it with a goal of their own halfway through the second half. Rovers were in no mood to surrender their lead and they pushed in search of a third and Rory Hannon went close to getting it when he rattled the crossbar with ten minutes left. Great win against the league leaders and a very impressive team performance.
