Leinster Community games football finalists
On Saturday morning last Rhode U.10 footballer\’s head off to Trim GAA grounds to play in the Leinster Community games football semi final against East Meath which kicked off at 9:30am in warm and sunny conditions . Rhode played excellent from the off and went ahead at an early stage but in the 3rd ten minutes East Meath came back at them but it wasnt enough as Rhode kept them at bay in the fourth and final ten of the game. Full-Time Score Rhode 8-05 East Meath 6-03 and Rhode marched on to the Leinster Final against Clontarf at 1:30pm. Following the semi final the Rhode players and the massive contingent of supporter\’s got a 2 hour break before the Leinster Final . The final was a wonderful game to watch throughout and went down to the wire but unfortunately it was not to be for the young future stars as Clontarf were crowned Leinster champions. Interestingly Rhode had more scores but the old cliche goals win games. Final score read Rhode 3-11 Clontarf 8-02. The Management , players and supporters can be very proud for their wonderful performance through out the day. Following the game Rhode received their silver medals to great cheers of the proud Rhode support. They may feel disappointing but can be very proud of their achievement .
A massive thank you to all the supporter\’s who traveled up to watch the young lads it was great to see.
The players and management would like to thank Colm killeen for sponsoring their tops, Kieron Dunphy for supplying refreshments for the day and Niall Otoole for the minerals and crisps on their return to Rhode. It was very much appreciated.
Well Done to the Team Management of Declan Curley, Mck Fleming, Emmett Mayon and John Murphy.
