Vee Rovers F.C.
Shanbally United under 16s are the team of the moment. Last weekend at Cahir they had a comfortable 3-0 win over Slievenamon to carry off a league and Cup double. Congratulations to all these young players and their manager Paul Frazer and all involved.
The Juniors were away to St Nicholas in the F.A.I. Cup second round where their interest in the competition ended. This was a lack lustre performance from the team overall and we never played at a tempo which might have brought a victory. Having gone down a goal after a quarter of an hour we failed to trouble the home defence for the remainder of the half.
We dominated possession for much of the second half without creating any clear cut chances. It was only at the end that the home defence began to lead a charmed life and as often happens we were caught on the break when St Nicholas scored a second. Final score 2-0 to the home side.
Condolences to the Sullivan family Graigue Clogheen on the passing of Kathleen Sullivan. Many members of the family have been and still are involved with the club over the years.
Golden Goal winner this week is Billy McCarthy.

Our under 11s travelled to Tipperary town on Saturday for the Michael Hogan Football Tournament. We started slowly losing the first game to Newcastle. We recovered well to beat Boherlahan in the second game and drew the last group game v Moyle Rovers. This put us in the semi-final against Newcastle which was a thriller and ended in a draw. It was decided in extra time on the next score wins system which we were unfortunate to lose. Well done to the boys and girls who had a great day and thanks to the Friends of Tipperary football for organising a great event.
