Roche Emmets…….3-11
Na Piarsaigh………..1-4

On a pleasant night with a noticeable breeze this U-16 Division 2 League game had some good passages of football form both sides. With the holiday period upon us both teams had players missing.

Na Piarsaigh did not record scores from the many promising attacks they mounted in the first period and so their chances of getting points from this game had gone early in the second half.

Roche started brightly and should have had two goals in the first quarter before Na Piarsaigh bounced into the game and into a four point lead with 1-2 midway through the half. Roche recovered with 1-5 before half time, three points in a row from Cathal Byrne and a smashing goal from Ciaran Savage leaving the half time score 1-6 to 1-2 for Roche.

Roche gathered an additional 2-5 before the visitors could post another score in the second half. Niall McArdle moved from the nets to the forward line to score a goal and Kevin Quigley scored a carbon copy four minutes later. Conor Mackin got his shoting into range in this half with three points before the brace of goals.

Best were the full back line of Pauric and Sean Watters and Liam Rice, Sean McCann, Ciaran Savage, Kevin Quigley, Conor Mackin, Cathal Byrne, Eugene Murray and Patrick Murphy.

Roche: Niall McArdle 1-0, Pauric Watters, Liam Rice, Sean Watters, Conor McArdle, Anthony Ferguson, Sean McCann, Ciaran Savage 1-1, Kevin Quigley 1-1, Oisín Gribben, Conor Mackin 0-3, Cathal Byrne 0-3, Elliot Grey, Eugene Murray 0-1, Patrick Murphy 0-2.
