ROVERS U14
After an easy victory over Skibbereen's 2nd team Rovers U14 team took on Skibbereen's first team in a league match in Kealkill on Saturday the 9th of January. Rovers U14's put in a great second
half performance to complete an unlikely come back against Skibbereen to
win 5-4 after going 3-0 behind within 25 mins. The game started evenly
enough until Rovers centre back Thomas Flynn had to go off for
treatment to an injury. Before he returned to the action Skibbereen had
taken the lead and and scored twice more soon after. It looked all over
for a young Bay Rovers team but they rallied and pulled two goals
back in two minutes around the half hour mark. Darragh McElhinney got
the first when he finished to
the top of the net after an accurate crossfield pass from Kuba
Ratajczak. Shane McSweeney slotted the second into the bottom corner
after being set up by Ryan O'Sullivan. Skibbereen came back again just
before half time to lead 4-2 at the break. Bay Rovers dominated the
second half and 10 mins in pulled another goal back. Ryan O'Sullivan
picked up a clearance on the halfway line and beat three defenders
before firing past the keeper having being denied another score when
through a few minutes earlier. Kuba Ratajczak was denied another scoring
opportunity by a Skibbereen hand which only resulted in a free kick
soon after. With 15 mins left another Skibb hand ball in the area gave
Shane Murray the opportunity to level the scores and he cooly dispatched
the spot kick. Rovers pressed for the winner and it came with three
mins left. Shane McSweeney went on a mazy run beating several defenders
only to see his
initial shot blocked by the keeper but he managed to head in the
rebound to give Rovers an unlikely 5-4 lead which they managed to hang
on to complete one of the best come backs in the clubs history. This was
a fantastic team performance with everyony playing their part. Team -

Kuba Ratajczak, Billy Foley, Eoghan Minehane, Darragh McElhinney, Shane
