Wicklow Rovers Senior Ladies played in the first WDFL Ladies 7 a side Blitz in Travers Insurance Park in Arklow today. Rovers were drawn in a group with Newtown and Greystones.

Rovers first match was against a very strong Newtown side who had just beaten Greystones 4-1. Rovers kept Newtown at bay in a very tight game and came away with an impressive 0-0 draw.

Next it was Rovers turn to play Greystones and the girls put in another strong performance winning 2-0 with two well taken goals from Niamh O’Brien.

This left Rovers level with Newtown on 4 points each. Newtown topped the group however with a superior goal difference.

In the play-off for the second place teams Rovers opponents were Glencormac who had finished second in a group with Arklow and Aughrim. This was an exciting game with a strong performance put in by all the girls. Glencormac proved slightly stronger over the 30 minutes leaving Rovers to pick up the runners up medals. Well done girls, it's been a long road to this point. Congratulations on your excellent performance today and a massive thanks to Tom and Hugh for managing and coaching the girls.
