U16 B FINAL WIN FOR ROCKWELL ROVERS

Rockwell Rovers beat Cahir recently in the u16B shield league final on a scoreline of 4:4 to 1:10. The first half was very close with nothing between the teams, with a point each for Kathy Julian and Méabh Lonergan and a goal and a point for Cliodhna Farrell Rockwell were flying it. With a late first half penalty for Cahir meant the teams were all square at half time with a scoreline of 1:3 apiece. The second half was very similar with nothing dividing the teams. Scores came from Annie Flynn who scored 1:1 and Cliodhna Farrell added to her tally with another point. The teams were tied going into the last five minutes with both teams working hard and fighting for every ball. A late goal from Maebh Lonergan secured the win for Rockwell. Congratulations to all the girls and management.
