It wasn't to be for our under 12A's in the Premier Shield final tonight at Shamrock Park as they went down by the narrowest of margins against Rathnew. This game was a great advertisement for schoolboy football and both teams should be really proud of their efforts and the fine spectacle of football that they displayed. It was a very tight game between these two sides with only the kick of a ball between them which saw Rathnewwin 1-0. It was a game that could have went either way. Congratulations to Rathnew on a fine league and shield double and we're already looking forward to more great battles next season. Hard luck Rovers, your day will come.
