Our Rhode boys Under 13's team hosted Clara in their second round match in the Offaly League campaign on Thursday evening 11th April. 

 

Clara scored a goal early in the game however Rhode took control from there and went in leading at half time on a scoreline of 5-13 to 1 goal. Both the defence and forward lines played an excellent style of football with midfield commanding the flow of the game. Again the strength came from the quality of the panel and Rhode continued to maintain control finishing on a scoreline of 9-22 to 3-04.

 

The panel on the day for Rhode were as follows: Kylan Owens, Leon Kilmurray, Paul Stynes, Odhran Briody, Sean Daly, Cameron Egan, Scott Hannon, Barry Dunne, Adam Kelleghan, Billy Quinn, Ryan Murphy, Gavin Murphy, Richie Glennon, Joshua Kelleghan, Owen Murphy,  Kyle Kilmurray, Jamie Glennon, Rhys Glennon, Luke Mahon, Tadhg Swaine, Jamie Ennis, Sean McGovern. The Management Team consists of Stephen Glennon, Brendan Glennon, Jimmy Hannon, Pauric Murphy and Derek Egan.  

 

Rhode GAA Club would like to thank Clara for a good game of football with respect shown by both teams at all times to each other and to the referee Martin Carty, whom we would like to thank for ensuring the game was played in an excellent manner.
