SOCCER
Castle Rovers bowed out of the division 2A Cup on Sunday, losing out 4-3 in a thriller. Castle took an early lead through a scorcher from Brian O’Riordan but Kennedy Park went on to lead 2-1 at half time. Castle equalised when a Ciarán Fitzgerald volley was deflected to the net. However, two further goals against Castle looked to have victory sealed for the opponents but a Derek Kiely goal from 40 yards out resulted in a 4-3 scoreline. We now have four league games remaining. Our next game v Abbey Rovers at 6.30 Tuesday, May 5.
Lineout: J. Paul Kiely, Mike O’Dwyer, Derek Malone, Nicky Ryan, Ross McNamara, Derek Kiely, Ciarán Fitzgerald, Ronan O’Mahony, Michael Ryan, Brian O’Riordan, Neil McLaughlin. Subs: Ed O’Halloran, Paul Kiely.
