!ROCKWELL ROVERS CAMOGIE
The u13s had a very impressive campaign beating Clonoulty on a scoreline of 8-4 to 4:2, losing narrowly to Moyne by 3 points and also losing to Cahir, they then qualified to a semi Final where they bet Drom on a scoreline of 5:3 to 4:5. This meant they qualified to the final where they faced Holycross! It was a very close battle where we were down by a point at half time, the second half was much the same being really tight with the girls constantly working hard, the girls were unlucky and lost on a scoreline of 2:04 to 2:02. Hard luck to the girls and management and congrats on a brilliant campaign.
The U16s championship kicked off to a great start with getting a win over Moyle Rover in the first round, they now face Cahir this Wednesday in the second round, where they are hoping to keep the winning streak going! Best of luck to girls and management!
The Juniors were very competitive in their first year up in the Junior C championship as they lost to Borrisoleigh in the first round on a scoreline 3:7 to 1:7. They then had a great win over Cahir in the second round winning 1:12 to 1:06, they had another narrow defeat losing to St Pats 1:11 to 2:04. Then last Sunday they defeated Burgess in New Inn on a scoreline 2:09 to 0:02. They have now completed all their round matches. We await the final round results to finalise the tables.
Congratulations to Maebh Lonergan and Annie Flynn who have represented Tipperary at u14 & u15 respectively.
Best of luck to all teams as they come into the Business end of their seasons! Keep up the good work
