ROCKHILL ROVERS

Rockhill Rover kept up their fantastic form again on Sunday, when beating Glantine 2-0 away from home. It really was a team performance with Rockhill’s back four and midfield outstanding on the day. And as usual their front two worked tirelessly to keep the ball in the opposition half. The lads who came on also played their part in the victory. The goals were a fantastic effort from Gerard O’Dea in the first half and a great finish from Jimmy O’Dea late in the second half. Rockhill are now top of the league for the time being and are pushing hard for promotion to the Premier League next season.
