U12 ROVERS

Letterkenny Rovers 1 - 1 Gweedore Celtic

Spoils Shared at the Aura

Letterkenny Rovers and Gweedore Celtic played out a competitive 1-1 draw yesterday evening at the Aura Centre.

The first half was a tightly contested affair with few clear-cut chances for either side. Gweedore Celtic enjoyed the majority of possession but couldn’t make their dominance count before the break.

Just moments into the second half, the visitors took the lead. A well-weighted through ball found their left winger, who finished smartly to break the deadlock.

The goal sparked a response from Rovers, who began pushing forward with more intent. Their efforts were rewarded when Lucas Casburn rose highest to meet a floated Zach McKinley free kick, guiding his header into the net to level the score.

Rovers continued to press for a winner, applying pressure late on, but the Gweedore defence held firm.

Scott McLaughlin stood out for the home side.

U12 CRUSADERS

Keadue Rovers 1 – 5 Letterkenny Crusaders

Letterkenny Crusaders earned a well-deserved three points on the road with a commanding 5–1 victory over Keadue Rovers in Central Park. The match was played in perfect conditions, and the visiting side showed determination and teamwork from the first whistle to the final minute.

Following a tactical change in formation after their previous fixture against Ballyraine, Letterkenny looked sharper and more confident, pressing higher up the pitch and controlling the game effectively.

Josh Muller opened the scoring in the 26th minute, finishing off a superb assist from Folarin Abolaji. Just two minutes later, Muller doubled the lead with another well-taken assistant from Folarin.

Folarin then turned goalscorer himself, making it 3–0 with a brilliant solo run that left the defence behind.

Anthony McGarrigle added the fourth in spectacular fashion, collecting the ball near his own penalty area and dribbling the full length of the pitch before calmly slotting it past the goalkeeper.

Keadue managed to pull one goal back, but Caleb Bomah responded with a composed finish to round off the scoring and secure the win for Letterkenny.

It was a strong team performance, full of energy and effort, and the players were rewarded with a well-earned treat on the journey home. A proud day for Letterkenny Crusaders.

U12 UNITED

Gweedore Aontaithe 6-1 Letterkenny United
Letterkenny suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Gweedore Aontaithe in Carrickboyle this morning. Letterkenny had a strong wind at their backs in the first half but couldn’t really take advantage of it. Letterkenny did take the lead on 18 minutes with a well placed effort into the top corner. That lead was short lived and Gweedore equalised before the half. Letterkenny couldn’t get going in the 2nd half playing into a strong wind, conceding 5 more goals. No excuses though, Gweedore wanted the win more and they were the better team on the day so fair play to them.

U12 ATHLETIC

Letterkenny Athletic 4 - 2 Keadue Celtic

Letterkenby Athletic continued to dominate in the second half but struggled to turn their dominance into goals as Keadue defended well.
They finally got their fourth when Josh Duffy McLaughlin smashed home from a tight angle midway through the half.
Lopsy had a glorious chance to make it 5 but just couldn't connect with Shay's cross with the goal at his mercy.
Keadue to their credit kept battling hard and got their reward with 2 late goals. However, Athletic saw out the game for a comfortable win.
Letterkenny Athletic need a point from their final 3 games to be crowned League Champions, but it could happen this weekend if results go their way.

U12 Girls

Letterkenny Rovers 0 - 2 Raphoe Town

What a thrilling evening of football at the Aura Centre as Letterkenny Rovers took on league leaders Raphoe Town! The energy was electric, and every player gave it their all from the very first whistle.

This was a battle fought in the heart of the pitch, with both teams working hard to gain control. Rovers showed real grit and determination, holding their own and keeping Raphoe from finding any easy way through.

Though chances were hard to come by, Rovers never stopped pushing. A momentary slip during a corner gave Raphoe their first goal, but Rovers didn’t back down. Heads stayed high, and the team responded with some brilliant attacking play.

The best moment came when Madison Mullen whipped in a stunning cross right across the goal—so close, but wasn't finished! It was a move that had the crowd on their feet.

Raphoe’s second goal came late, after pressure on the left side led to a quick turnover and a sharp finish.

But the score doesn’t tell the full story. Rovers were fierce, focused, and full of fight for the entire 60 minutes. This was a completely transformed team from their last match against Raphoe —faster, stronger, and more united.

Keep your heads up, Rovers—you’re growing with every game.

Best for Rovers is a three way tie, Madison Mullen, Shallom Akpo and Natalia Zabillo!
