A hard fought game yesterday against Notre Dame seen us lose 4-2.
Despite being a level game, we saw ourselves 2-0 down in the first half due to a great strike from 25+ yards and an absolute gift for the opposition from a defensive error.
It was all uphill from there but after a reshuffle after the second goal we started taking more control and asking questions of the Notre Dame defence. The lads showed great character to get it back to 2-2 with plenty time left on the clock second half.
It seemed like a third Rovers goal was coming as we continued to create chances, with an absolute sitter missed unmarked from 7/8 yards out with the whole goal to aim at.
Somewhat against the run of the play at that point in the match, Notre Dame burst forward and quickly found themselves 3-2 up. We continued to apply pressure but couldn't find the equaliser. We threw the kitchen sink at the game in the final moments and lost a fourth with the last kick of the ball as Notre Dame broke forward on the counter from our free kick in the final third.
A good all round performance that seen us hard done by coming away with nothing.
