Our Leinster Senior team were away to Pegasus/St James Athletic yesterday. The lads were seeking their first win in the league and they got it yesterday in very impressive fashion winning 6-0. Rovers turned in a five star performance from the first whistle to the final one. In the first twenty minutes Sam Brown and Ciaran McGettigan both had great chances to open Rovers account but were denied. It was only a matter of time before Rovers opened their account as they were creating chances and on the half hour mark it came, JT Moorehouse latched on to a breaking ball to fire Rovers in front. Then just before half time time some quick thinking from Rikki Quinn and Nathan Sullivan set Ciaran McGettigan away down the right hand side, Ciaran put a great ball into the box and JT was there to tap in. Rovers started the second half in the same manner, on the front foot. Ciaran McGettigan cut inside and finished really well to make it 3-0. Then it was Sam Brown's turn to hit the net with what proved to be the goal of the match, he picked the ball up just inside the home team's half, took on two players before unleashing a shot into the top corner with his left foot. Rovers added two more goals with JT taking advantage of a mistake in their backline to complete his hat-trick and then he capped off a fine display with a fourth goal with a tidy finish to make it 6-0. This was the result Rovers are capable of producing and hopefully this will kick start their league campaign to progress up the table. It was the best team performance so far this season with every player on top of their game.
