WICKLOW ROVERS
The senior men’s scheduled home game fixed for Friday night was called off, so it was left to our under-18s to provide the action in the senior grade.
They came up against a very useful outfit in the shape of Finglas United at Whitegates. It was the away side who came out on top winning 4-1.
Stuart Cox fired home from the penalty spot to level matters after the Dublin side took an early lead but that’s as good as it got with Finglas firing home three unanswered goals to put Rovers to the sword.
Saturday’s junior action saw our 12As play out a scoreless draw away to Drogheda Boys. The lads created several good chances on the day but found the home goalkeeper in inspired form. The result keeps the lads firmly in the title race.
Our 13As are another team in the title mix and they did their hopes the power of good with an excellent 6-1 away win over Ballyoulster United. Louis Malcolmson led the way with a superb hat-trick, he’s brother Oscar weighed in with a brace with Sam Christie completing the six-goal haul in a very impressive team display.
Our under-16s went down to a 5-2 defeat to local neighbours Wicklow Town at Finlay Park. In a well contested game the lads gave it their all, Ben Algera and Paul Marah hit the back of the net for Rovers.
Sunday’s action saw the 14Bs suffer a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Coolboy Rangers, there was plenty of chances in this game with the away side proving more clinical in front of goal. Alexander Gallet scored the Rovers goal.

Wicklow Rovers AFC promote soccer for schoolboys/girls, youths and senior men and ladies in the community, our club is growing all the time and any assistance with the help of running the club would be very much appreciated.
Over recent times we have been trying to set up a fundraising committee that would work in conjunction with the executive committee. This subcommittee would be responsible with the running of the fundraising and the suggesting of ways of fundraising for the club.
This is a very important part of the progression of the club for the future. We are inviting any person that would be interested in helping out on this subcommittee. It’s your club and if you would like it to progress why not come on board and help out.
If fundraising isn’t your thing there is plenty of other ways to help out. Don’t just assume someone else will come forward, come along and help the club progress, all help no matter how big or small would be very much appreciated. If interested you can contact any committee members, private message the club Facebook page or approach any club member, thank you.
