DWL U16s
Our U16 Girls travelled to Gweedore Utd last night. The girls showed their resilience in defending with Amy Doherty excellent in goals. Savanna Keys put Rovers ahead just before half time. Amy Moore was unlucky on a few occasions making runs from deep in midfield chasing the long ball. On 72nd min Gweedore managed to level the score with an Emma Wallace strike. With 3mins remaining Gweedore’s Maria Gallagher beat the offside trap and ran through to score the winner. 2-1 to Gweedore on the night.
