Letterkenny Rovers 1 - 6 Gweedore Celtic

The Rovers team faced a tough battle from the start in their opening game of the U12 SFAI, playing Gweedore Celtic at home.

Gweedore was strong and energetic from the start and controlled most of the possession in the first half.

Rovers defended strong and stopped countless attacks in the first half, but conceded 1 goal breaking the deadlock.

Gweedore were much more dominant in the second half, with the intensity and chasing of the ball taking its toll on Rovers, with legs starting to give up, seeing the away team score 5 goals in the second half.

Tiarnan Connolly pulled one back for Rovers from a great assist from Josh Buchanan.

Man of the Match was Noah Wilkie for an outstanding performance in goals. Without him, the score line would have been in the double digits.

But with huge respect to the Rovers team who fought hard from the first to the last whistle and gave it their all, the coaching team is very proud of their performance.

Final score 1 - 6
