Club Notes 23rd March 2010
Rockcorry 1-13 Monaghan Harps 2-10
Our reserve team played Monaghan Harps last Sunday morning and earned themselves a share of the spoils. Played in glorious sunshine we produced some wonderful passages of football particularly during the first half and should off been further ahead at the break only for two defensive errors that cost us dearly. The half time score Rockcorry 0-10 Monaghan Harps 2-3. We got off to decent start in the second half and managed to score first but unfortunately our play became scrappy and we allowed our counterparts back in to the game and by the final whistle we were fortunate to get ourselves a draw.
