Letterkenny Rovers claimed the Dessie Kelly Memorial Cup this evening with a commanding 3–0 win over Fanad United.🏆
Rovers started strongly, with Ella McCarron delivering a dangerous early cross that was well defended by Fanad. The early pressure told in the 13th minute when Ciara McGarvey showed great composure to slot home the opener with her left foot.
Fanad worked hard to find a response, but Rovers’ defence—led by Molly Page and Mia Devenney—stood firm. At the other end, goalkeeper Aoiblinn Randles reacted smartly to deny a Fanad attack and keep her clean sheet intact.
The lead was extended shortly before half-time when Erin Doherty’s diagonal pass found McCarron, whose precise delivery was finished superbly by Roisin Lynch to make it 2–0.
Rovers sealed victory in the 58th minute as Lynch struck again, converting another pinpoint McCarron cross to complete her brace and secure the silverware.
It was a complete team performance from start to finish, with every player contributing brilliantly to the win. Roisin Lynch was named Player of the Match for her two-goal display.
The club was also delighted to see Amy Moore return to action after recovering from an Achilles injury, and everyone at Letterkenny Rovers wishes Hannah Shields a speedy recovery.
Well done to the team and coaches on a fantastic result🏆 ⚪️⚫️
