The Leinster Senior side made their exit from the Leinster Junior cup this afternoon when they lost away to Markievicz Celtic. The home side were up for it from the first minute but Rovers matched them. The first half was even enough and just when it looked like the sides would go in at the break level Markievicz popped up with a goal which took a deflection to go in at the break one to the good. In fairness It was a bit of an injustice as Rovers played well in the first period. Rovers came out in the second half in search of an equaliser and created several good chances but failed to make them count. Finally with twenty minutes left man of the match Sam Brown fired home a deserved leveller. It was nip and tuck as both sides searched for a winner and unfortunately for Rovers it fell to the home side when they nabbed the winner four minutes from time. This was a game that could have went either way, Rovers did have their chances but its back to the training ground, dust themselves down and back to the bread and butter of the league. Having only played one league match to date the lads will be hoping to go on a bit of a winning run to get their campaign up and running.
