The senior ladies entertained Ferns United in the quarter final of the divisional shield on Sunday at Whitegates. The ladies returned to winning ways when they turned in a very impressive team display to win 3-1 and progress to the semi final.

The girls totally dominated the first half and were creating plenty of good chances. Molly Sweeney took two of those chances to fire home her 14th and 15th goals of the season to put Rovers in the driving seat going into the half time break. Amy Kavanagh in the Rovers goal impressed when she played like an extra sweeper coming off her line to mop up any long through balls.

The second half proved to be a more even affair as the away side went on the front foot to try find a way back into the game and they got it when they were awarded a penalty which they converted to half the deficit. Rovers weren’t to be outdone and they restored their two goal cushion when the impressive Louise Corrigan fired home her 13th goal of the campaign to put them within touching distance of the semi finals. The strong Rovers rearguard was rock solid for the remainder of the game to see out the match without any trouble and book their spot in the semi finals.

Well done to Paul, Tom and the girls and the best of luck in the semi finals. Big thanks to Ferns for a very competitive game and the best of luck for the rest of the season.
