All players performed well and worked hard till the end of the game but particularly notable was Mark McGuirk and Coiln Quinn who between them did all the scoring. The final score Castleblayney 1-5 Rockcorry 0-13. Log on to www.rockcorrygaa.ie for full match report. Their next outing is on Monday 26th April when they take on Sean McDermott’s at home.
Team Captains
Paul McKeown has been chosen as team captain of our senior team for the league campaign while Noel Carroll will be team captain during the Championship campaign. With regards to our reserve side Coin Reilly was selected as team captain with Martin Carroll being named as vice-captain. All are passionate young men who have a great work ethic and lead by example on the field and bring a great attitude to the squad. I would like to wish them all the very best of luck in their roles and hopefully they will bring some silverware to the club in 2010.

Under 14 Team
The under 14 game against Carrickmacross Emmet’s was cancelled last Saturday due to a number of clubs withdrawing from the Division 4 league. As a result Division 4 and 5 will now be amalgamated. A new fixture list will be issued shortly and the under 14 competition is now scheduled to start on Saturday 24th April.
Under 16 Team
Our under 16 team played their second league game against Latton last Thursday evening. While the team displayed some fine passages of football particularly in the first half it was Latton’s ability to convert possession onto the scoreboard that proved the crucial difference and after playing their hearts out they lost on a score-line Latton 3-11 Rockcorry 1-4. Next up is Tyholland tonight (Thursday 15th April) in Pairc Mhuire at 6.45pm. All players are asked to be in the dressing-rooms no later than 6.15pm.
