Footballers Open League Campaign with a Win
The Junior footballer team travelled to Castlelyons on Wednesday night last to play the hosts in their opening League game under lights. After a close and competitive opening 30minutes the Rovers led on a score line of 5 points to 3. The second half was a different story with the Bride lads in control throughout. Two goals from Jason Mannix and Stephen Boyce put a big change on the scoreline. We added a further eight points and ended the game wining comfortably on a score line of 2-13 to 0-04 points.
The team on the night was: Ritchie Cahill, Gavin Flynn, Brinnie O’ Driscoll, Jim O’ Connor, Adrian Buckley, Liam Forde, Donnacha Carr, Shane Kearney, Michael Kearney (0-01), Jason Mannix (1-00), Terry Broderick (0-03), Sean O’ Brien, Colm O’ Keefe (0-02), Jerome O’ Driscoll (0-01) and Barry Johnson(0-02). Subs used: Alan O’ Keefe(0-03), Jacob Macak, Stephen Boyce (1-01), Frank Hogan and Damien Buckley.
