Our Senior A team successfully kicked off their Premier League campaign on Sunday with a crucial 4-2 victory away to Ashford Rovers!

The lads started the game with intent, wasting no time to stamp their authority on the match. We stormed to a 2-0 lead in the opening three minutes, showcasing the clinical sharpness expected of champions. Although Ashford Rovers pulled one back to make it 2-1, our response was decisive, scoring just before the break to restore the two-goal cushion and take a 3-1 lead at half-time.

The second half was a tense battle. Ashford fought hard and managed to score a goal with only three minutes left on the clock, narrowing the margin to 3-2 and setting up a nervy finish. However, the Senior A team’s class showed through. They dug deep and, in stoppage time, secured the result with a late goal to seal the 4-2 win.

The goalscorers for Rovers were:
⚽️ Ben Algera
⚽️ Tom Smullen
⚽️ Adam Rochford
⚽️ Cian Nolan

A hard-fought, resilient performance to secure three vital points on the road. Well done, Senior A—a perfect start to the league campaign!
