The mens 1sts shared the spoils against Pembroke last Saturday in a tight affair in Serpentine Avenue. With 7 players under the age of 21 the side was considerably changed to that which lined out against the same opposition this time last year. Rovers started brighter but found themselves one nil down before the half following a ruffed short corner drag. Pembroke doubled their league early in the second half as they punished Rovers for 3 yellow cards throughout the game.

Following the second goal the young troops came alive with Mitch, Freddie Morris and Jody combining to set up Mikey Maguire for the first goal. The equaliser game 10 minutes from the end courtesy of Johnny Roberts.

This week the lads face their first double weekend as they head to Glenanne on Saturday at 12.30, before hosting Avoca at home in HQ on Sunday at 2.15pm.
