It's was the third time lucky to get this fixture played, but there was no luck needed for the girls this evening. The game played at high intensity from the off as Louise Corrigan got Rovers first goal within the opening three minutes of the game, and they didn't look back. They didn't take the foot off the gas for the whole game with Niamh O'Brien registering her hat-trick before half time and her striking partner Molly Sweeney getting off the mark with a single. Carnew got one goal back before half time with an excellent finish from outside the box, but with the score 5-1 at the break, Rovers were in a commanding position. Rovers started the second half at the same pace as the first with Niamh O'Brien scoring twice, taking her total to five goals for the match. Amy Irwin got a goal on her debut for the team, and Louise Corrgian added a hat-trick to her first half goal. Everyone from the goalkeeper to the forwards played a role in the win. Niamh Caffrey and Louise Johnson are starting to form a solid partnership in the back and workhorse Sophie Byrne on the wings is chasing every ball down. With the next round been the semi-finals, the girls will be aiming to get their hands on the first piece of silverware of the year.
