The 12C's took on Shillelagh in the semi-final of the plate at Whitegates today. It proved to be a very close game with very little between the two teams. The first half was very tight with defences on top as they went in scoreless at the break. The second half saw Shillelagh come out all guns blazing to go two up. Rovers showed great character pulling one back with a Matas Araminas goal. Rovers then had a goal disallowed as they piled forward in search of an equaliser. Unfortunately for Rovers they got hit with a suckerpunch as Shillelagh made it 3-1 five minutes from time. Rovers will count themselves a touch unlucky in this game after an excellent team effort.
