Congratulations to our under 13A's who claimed the shield today winning 1-0 against Arklow United A. The game started slow as excepted with players showing signs of nerves. Half way through the first half Rovers had two players dismissed which left Rovers with a mountain to climb. With 9 against 11 Rovers regrouped with a couple of changes and the lads showed incredible determination, fighting for every ball, leaving nothing on the pitch. At the end of the first half Giorgio Morgillo Fidyk was fast to finish off a mistake from the Arklow United keeper scoring what proved to be the winning goal. In the second half Rovers fought even more and worked as a team like probably never before defending so well that the opposition failed to have any clear chances while our keeper and Captain Ted Hasler played well taking every cross and sweeping up the long balls over the top. Rovers had a couple of promising counter attacks but at the end the score remained and Rovers could claim a very well deserved Shield victory
