Our U12C team were very unlucky to lose by the narrowest of margins to Arklow United this morning at Arklow Credit Union Park. In challenging weather conditions Rovers took an early lead to go one up through Billy Nolan, and managed to hold on until half time. Early in the second half Arklow drew level, before going on to take the lead through a wicked deflection. But fair play to our players, their heads never dropped and their perseverance paid off scoring a very well deserved equaliser from Pradyan Pravish. On top and with only a few minutes to go, we found ourselves on the wrong end of a very harsh penalty decision. Our goalkeeper Mithul Saravana was very unlucky not to keep it out with a very strong hand, only to see it hit the top of the net. Again, we kept going and in the final moments Billy Nolan was very unlucky not to get another, just missing the post by inches. Great credit to both teams for putting on a lovely game of football and well done to Arklow 👍
