SFAI CUP U14s Last 16.

The draw had the U14s travel to Cork to take on College Corinthians in the SFAI national cup.

Conditions on the day were terrible and the pitch had a lot of surface water which made things difficult for both teams.

It was the home side who got off to the better start scoring after just 5 minutes. The Rovers lads grew into the game had the quality of work was impressive as they tried to find the equalizer. The half ended 1-0 to the Cork side. The second half saw the Letterkenny side continue their efforts and came close twice. As the time was running out they went for it and unfortunately College Corinthians got their second in the last few minutes putting a recovery out of sight with the game ending 2-0.

The Rovers lads put in an massive shift and impressive display. This brings to an end a great season for the boys, as they now switch to focus on getting ready for the 2024 season starting in March.

SFAI U14s Last 32 Letterkenny Rovers 2 - 0 Clonmel Town

Sunday 4th February 2024.

It was very difficult conditions for both sides at Leckview though it did not really offer any advantage to either side as it blew across the pitch.

Rovers had the better of the chances though Clonmel Towns threat was on the counter attack and the crated a few good breaks particularly in the first half.

Rovers had plenty of good chances in the first half from Denzel Akpo, Jack O'Donnell, Colm OgBreathnach, Sean Gallagher and Aki Alleyne, only to be stopped by a very good Clonmel keeper.

The first half it ended 0-0 and Rovers continued to pressure in search of the opening goal as they started the second half.

However it was until the 64th minute with a great strike from Sean Gallagher slipped unto the crossbar giving Rovers the lead.

Clomel fought back quickly and had a great chance from a free kick on the left of the field that crossed the goal going just wide of the right post.

However Rovers sealed the game with a bursting run by Aki as he pushed forward and was one on one with the keeper, his shot was blocked by the Clonmel keeper who had an outstanding game, but the ball fell into the path of Colm Og who wasn't going to miss and stuck it in the net.

Rovers held on for the dying few minutes and deservedly won 2-0 on the day.

Well done lads and good luck in the final 16!!.

It was the last game for Sean Gallagher and Jack O'Donnell with the team, both who have grown up through the club. They are pictured with coaches Joe McLaughlin and Paddy Gorman. Both players are moving to Finn Harps and the coaches, team and club wish both lads the every success for the year ahead.

Letterkenny Rovers 3 - 2 Kilmacrennan Celtic

Goalscorers: Blake Meridith, Colm Og Breathnach, Calum McLaughlin

Rovers came out on top in a cracking game at the Aura. Kilmacrennan hit the woodwork twice in the opening exchanges but Rovers had their chances too with both Sean Gallagher and Colm Og Breathnach having great chances to open the scoring. Rovers scored midway through the half when Sean Gallagher was dragged down in the box.

Blake Meridith's penalty was well saved but he calmly slotted him the rebound. Kilmac equalised soon after when Rovers didnt deal with a cross from the right and it was turned in

Rovers started stronger in the second half and scored 5 minutes in when Colm Og turned in a Calum McLaughlin's header.

Rovers continued to press with Adam Dwyer having the best of the chances to extend their lead but Kilmacrennan equalised against the run of play when a well struck free kick found the back of the net.

Rovers continued to create the better chances in an end to end last 15 minutes and it was Calum McLaughlin who got on the end of a glorious Jack O Donnell pass to smash home the winner 5 minutes from time.

U14 PREMIER DIVISION

Letterkenny Rovers 1  - 2 Lagan Harps

Lagan came out on top in a scrappy affair played in rough conditions at Leckview.

Rovers started the stronger but couldn't turn their dominance into goals

Lagan scored against the run of play when a Lagan clearance from a Rovers corner wasn't dealt with and Drew Dowds  raced through to score. Lagan were lifted by the goal  and only a fine Charlie Martin save stopped Dowds from grabbing a second before halftime.

Lagan went two up midway through the second half when Rovers failed to clear their lines and a McGinley shot hit the crossbar only for Drew Dowds to slot home the rebound. Lagan nearly had a third but Martin made another fine save.

Rovers rallied and Captain Calum McLaughlin slotted home his fifth goal in three games from a Blake Meridith freekick.

Temple Akpo had two chances late on to equalise but just couldn't find the target and with Lagan defending resolutely they held out for a good away win
