On Saturday Night June 26th, our third team were
playing Carrignavar in the JBHC in
Lisgoold. This was an impressive
performance from a team with a mix of youth & experience.
Carrignavar started well
with 3 points in the opening 10 minutes, however Liam Cotter, playing Full
Forward, had a goal for the Rovers to draw level. This was quickly added to
by a well-taken point by Patrick Cotter. James Bermingham pointed two frees
to extend the Rovers lead & a long range Kieran Collins point had the Rovers
leading by 2 points before Carrig scored a goal to lead by a point at
half-time.
In the second half,
James Bermingham gave an exhibition of free-taking scoring a further five
points to add to his two in the opening half to putting the Rovers in front.
A further point by Liam Cotter had the Rovers up a point with minutes to go
but Carrig struck with two points in injury time, having only scored once (a
goal) in the previous thirty minutes to snatch victory from a gallant Rovers
side.
