Cup Semi Final
Rock 1-3 De La Salle Waterford 3-4
Rock bowed out at the semi final stage after a brave effort against a much stronger side. The opening 10 minutes was very tense with neither team scoring but 2 goals just before half time gave De La Salle a lead that they would never lose. Two Conor Mc Garrity frees kept the Rock in touch. In the second period the Rock gave everything to claw the lead back but scores from Aidan Corrigan and Thomas Mackle came too late to affect the outcome of the game.
Thomas Mackle 1-0
Aidan Corrigan 0-1
Conor Mc Garrity 0-2
The lads conducted themselves brilliantly over the weekend and the club is very proud of what they achieved. Special word of thanks to our host club Bonniconlon Co Mayo who helped make it a memorable weekend the players will never forget. Thanks to all parents and supporters who made the journey down to support the team all weekend.
