Saturday saw our Under 14 side host Finn Harps at The Sean Fallon Centre at Noon and the lads ran out 6-1 winners in the Eddie Wallace Cup group stages in front of the home supporters with a five goal haul for Conor Whittaker and a sixth added by Stephen Gibbons. It was Conor’s first time to score for Rovers since signing and he capped a fantastic display with five well taken goals.
