SECOND: brush, whelan, foran, peers, keohane, ogrady, ryan, cass, doyle, winger from liverpool and some other lad

duffy played first half at centre half and meenan at right back- o mahoney and duffy did ok but did not stand out imho

Could someone confirm who was the right full for rovers second half? Looked good on ball and got forward at pace alot

Thought amond really looked the part 1st half although Sligo Leitrim werent in it at all and couldnt compete all over the pitch (to be expected)...Foran showed one or 2 nice touches 2nd half on a terrible pitch, although SligoLeitrm did get through down right hand side a couple of times between him and keohane(i think)

J McCartney did very well first half imo, very pacey and put in a few great crosses.

All in all a decent run out a chance to see some alot of new faces. Fair play to Sligo Leitrim for not throwing in towel 2nd half

Corrigan is another trialist I take it ?

[CF1989]

right back was paul whelan, on trial, was with monaghan last year.

Conor Corrigan has been with us for 2 years, plays with the A team. he's good on the ball and is strong, hes english

i think the point i made last week about junior football being a totally different level to LOI was proved tonight.

i think the point i made last week about junior football being a totally different level to LOI was proved tonight.

true, i was just making point that its no harm to have a look at some of the stand out players at junior level really..There have been a few down through the years that have served the club very well coming from that background...Hopfully some of the young lads can make a break through in not too distant future.

I know its hard to judge against junior palyers but some of amonds finishes were top drawer and we may have real replacement for raf there...he was unlucky at shamrock not to get more of a chance

Amond was a terrific striker in 2008, But I think injury played its part during 2009. Still don't understand why he was behind Baker in the pecking order, should be a good signing for us.

Four goals in a half against any level of opposition is impressive. Shaping up to be an interesting season this time round, can't wait for it to get going now.

Thought Whelan, Davoren, Foran, McCartney and Amond stood out.
