The Shamrock Rovers keeping pace of Europe



A nice win for the Hoops at Tallaght over a resilient and fighting Wexford Youths squad, so far seeded in fourth place the Hoops behind Cork and Derry Cities. The Boys of Stephen Bradley are poised to gain some ground in the Airtricity Table and assure themselves a European spot.
As the saying states that, there is no such thing than an easy foe.

The Wexford Youths 11 is a squad fighting for its permanency in the big circuit, so their game is not a walk in the park lately and many of its opponents have a tough time deciphering their game. 

Ask that to a first place and top line squad Dundalk FC who got the surprised by the Youths game and victimized them by a score of 2-1. 

With league play back on track, this match between the Hoops and Warriors was to be a total challenge for the Dublin Boys looking forward to move up the league overall table and net a spot to Europa League. Very well, try its best to catch the likes of Cork City that so far have a five points lead over them placed in third place.

A match that started with a resilient and hardened Warrior 11 making all sorts of plays and looking for the right opportunity to open up the score, their perseverance finally paid off with a nice shoot that opened the score.  With a determined Danny Furlong opportune play, suddenly his Youths were ahead in the scoreboard.

Still one thing the new Hoops Boss Bradley has instituted on his Boys is to fight back and persevere, when they were down, all of a sudden the Rovers started a tremendous offensive display and with an intelligent game. The tables turned in favor of the Hoops, when Gary McCabe, Brendan Miele and Sean Boyd became the heroes of the match thanks to their scores.

After the Youths keep their lead, it was in the when  36th  when Gary McCabe, since Bradley arrival at the Hoops helm he netted the starting job and with a nice 20 yard out kick that found the corner of the net to even the scores at one goal apiece.

Not even three minutes passed when Brandon Miele beating both Warriors and Youth keepers he scored the go-ahead goal with a shoot that ranged more than 25yards out and the third goal came with a Trevor Clarke cross to Sean Boyd to seal the deal in the second half.

The wins assure three points of gold and keep them near both Cork and Derry City for the last European spot as a good motivator ahead for their next match in the FAI Irish Daily Mail Cup against Athlone Town on Friday 19th

The Cumann Peile Ruagairí na Seamróige is looking  forward to salvage their troubled campaign and look forward to net some shields in league competitions as well lock a trip to the always prestigious Uefa Europa League.
