This weeks big achievers
were the boys of St Marys Primary School
who brought the 2005 Down primary
schools title back to the village with a
4-4 to 1-4 victory over neighbours St
Dallans of Warrenpoint in the County
Final at Castlewellan last Saturday. It
was a great all-round performance from
the boys, especially in defence, where
Patrick Morgan, Stephen Doyle and Conor
Doyle were all outstanding. Jordan
Fegan[2-0] and Ryan Cousins [1-2] were
the forward heroes and midfielder Lee
Clerkin crowned a fine display by
scoring Rostrevors first half goal
·
The clubs senior team
overcame the absence of prominent
players like Ciaran Sloan, Eddie Magee,
Conor Daly, Martin Sherry and Adrian
Mackin by producing their best form of
the season in a 2-11 to 2-3 win over
Bryansford in a lively game at Pettit
Park. Dermot Mackin was in top form and
scored Rostrevors first goal as they
moved into a 1-8 to 0-2 lead by half
time. They were taken aback by two
Bryansford goals early in the second
half, but recovered well to win, with
Joe Fegan adding the second goal from
the penalty spot. Other top performers
for Rostrevor were young Patrick
McGreevey, who scored 0-2, and Fintan
McBreen at midfield.
·
The reserves are just two
points behind league leaders Kilcoo, but
with a game in hand following an
exciting 2-11 to 0-16 win over An Riocht
at Dunavil
·
The
minors had some of their county players
back for the trip to Carryduff in the
All-County League last Wednesday. Eamonn
McConville and Conor Mackin were injured
and had to sit it out, but Collie
Clerkin hit three points in a 0-15 to
0-12 win over a good Carryduff side. It
took a couple of fine saves from Padraig
Mulholland to see Rostrevor through. The
home side led 0-8 to 0-5 at half time,
but Reds fought back with fine displays
from James Clerkin [0-3], Gerard
McCartan, Ryan Watt and Colm Murney.
·
The
under 16s had no game this Tuesday, but
travel to Longstone in the championship
on Wednesday. Good luck, lads!
·
The
under 14s won a thriller against Glenn
in Pettit park on Monday by 4-7 to
2-10. Mickey McVeigh scored 2-3, with
the other goals from Paudie Parr and
Tomas O Dubhain. Man of the match was
centre half back Stephen Morgan who gave
a tremendous display as a talented
Glenn team piled on the second half
pressure.
·
The
under 12s had a difficult assignment in
the championship away to a Bosco side
who were at the top of Division Two in
the league. Bur Rostrevor were in
brilliant form in Newry and progressed
to the next round on a 6-10 to 1-1
scoreline.
·
Good
luck to the clubs under 10 team, who
defend their Mitchels Blitz title next
Saturday in Newry
·
Commiserations to the under 16 girls
team who bowed out of the championship
against a much more experienced
Byansford side at Newcastle on Sunday.
That ends the season for the under 16s,
and they and manager Christopher Doyle
deserve to be congratulated for laying
the foundations for what we hope will be
a successful future for girls football
in Rostrevor.
