02/09/07 - Firsts too strong for Ambassadors
The firsts continued their preseason friendlies games with a 6-0 victory over impressive Mid Ulster Division 4 side Ambassadors. The result doesn't tell the story of the game as it was much closer than the score line suggests. Chris Loney continued his scoring run with the opener mid way through the first half after good build up play from Darren Bruce. Ambassadors always posed a threat throughout the half with some great one touch football which they carried through into the second. It wasn't until the final 30 minutes or so when the Rovers fitness started to show, they upped their game and started to create more chances on goal. Ally Allen scored twice before Dermot Kelly hit a spectacular effort from distance into the top right hand corner, Lee Wells then found the same corner from the left hand side of the penalty box before Barry Spence rounded off the scoring with a simple tap in. The Rovers played some good football in stages against a very good side it it proved a good workout for the 15 players involved.
