U18 Shield Quarterfinal
Ballina Town 3
Achill Rovers 2
Rovers travelled to Ballina for this well anticipated Shield Match.
The boys played excellent team football with all players giving 100% the first half ending 1-1, Josh Connaghan scoring a worldy of a free kick from just inside the halfway line, Ballina scoring from a penalty on the half time whistle.
The second half saw the two teams battle equally; Connaghan scored again to take the lead but on this occasion Ballina had the edge after equalising scored the winner in the last 3minutes of the match.
Best of luck to them going forward in the Shield Competition and our thanks for hosting the match!
Our thanks also to our travelling fans and all the players and parents for their sustained support this season.
All the lads gave their best and had a super season! Onwards and upwards for Rovers.
