The 12C's went down narrowly at Arklow Credit Union Park tonight in a very close tussle with Arklow United in the shield. There was nothing between the sides in the first half as defences were on top and at the interval it remained scoreless. The game was decided by a scrappy goal in the second half in wet conditions. The ball skidded off the surface from a long goal kick, went behind our defenders and an Arklow forward slid it under the keeper. The team battled for every ball throughout and created a few chances near the end but couldn’t find that vital finish. The Arklow keeper pulled off an unbelievable save right at the end to see Arklow win with the only goal of the game. Well done to Rovers and Arklow United FC
