U14 Rovers
Lagan Harps 1 - 2 Letterkenny Rovers
A close enough game overall, but Rovers found themselves with an uphill climb from the start with Lagan getting an early lead in under 1 minute.
As things progressed chances came both end but a few changes helped Rovers and a good ball from the right by Jakub Zabillo into Lee Hegarty who had space to move forward centrally and stoke low and hard going through the keepers legs to equalise just before half time.
The second half started with chances for Rovers as they searched for a second. 45 minutes in Rovers got their lead when Pedro Evangelista did some magic in the box to create the opportunity for himself and shot in a great goal.
Rovers had their work cut out for themselves for the remainder of the game as Lagan searched and came close on a couple of occasions, but Rovers held on to secure the points.
