Congratulations to our under 12A team who travelled to take on Suncroft AFC in the fourth round of the under 13 SFAI National cup today and returned home to Wicklow with their place booked in the open draw after a tough 1-0 victory.

The journey proved tough on the lads as they started off very sluggish in the first half and took their time to get a foothold in the game. Slowly the lads came into the game but they couldn’t break a good Suncroft team down. After words of wisdom from Mo and Czwaz at half time the lads started to play a lot better in the second period, moving the ball much better but just couldn’t find an opening. Ben O’Leary and Tommy Morrissey were fantastic throughout the entire game with the rest of the lads all upping their game in a fantastic second half performance. Richie Carton was the goal hero with a great strike with ten minutes left on the clock to send the Rovers supporters wild. This was to signal a late onslaught from the home side but Rovers were valiant in defending from there on in. They still had to thank Sam Czwalina who made a fine save from a vicious strike in the dying minutes. This was an excellent away victory for the lads to book their spot in the open draw and their place in the semi-final of the South Leinster Region. Well done lads.
