Something weird going on with the weather in Dublin at the moment its nearly dark up here.

2-0 Rovers we've moved up to 6th in the league

Turner played and had a hand in both goals according to reports.

just saw the 2 goals there on tv3 news.. nice finish from judge.

the 1st goal was very well worked and well finished

Fair play to the Sligo fan who chanted "Where's your Bulmers gone, where's your Bulmers gone" at me

another good win. nice bit of form at the minute. any footy played was by us really. ogrady and hughes were very good again and controlled the midfield. hope faz's injury isnt too bad, he probably shouldnt have played at all beacuse it was heavily strapped and after 2 minutes he was limping. turner worked hard and never gave up. had a hand in both goals aswell, class from judge again for his, he really is a quality footballer. hughes done well for his goal aswell, nice to see him score again.
good result, 3 wins on the bounce, and finally a clean sheet again, first since the last UCD game.....thats another positive!

Doesn't prove that at the time, he might have been out.

**feo123** · 23/06/2007, 12:26 AM

who cares. was getting worried coming towards belfield in the lashing rain at 7 oclock with the ground still closed, puddles everywhere and no one in sight.

**Midgit** · 23/06/2007, 6:30 AM

A hard fought win it was last night. Good preformance all round bar maybe one or two.
Overall we didn't play to our best by no means but we grinded out a result with minimum of fuss really.

Roll on Longford.

Great to finally get a win in Belfield. 1st time I've ever enjoyed going to a game in belfield. I thought hughes played well througout and got a well deserved goal. Judge took his goal well again, looks a completely different player from last year. I agree Faz should probably not have started he didn't look fit from the start. great to see chrissy turner fully committed. Hopefully we can push up the table now.

Youre right about Jugde. I didnt rate the guy at all last year and was glad to see him gone. However, I am the first to admit that I was wrong. He has been excellent in all the games I have seen him this year. Hes proven he can score regularly while a quite a number of his goals have been excellent well taken finishes, the two against Cork for example. Lets hope he can continue in this vein of form for the rest of the season.

Up to sixth. Great stuff. The last few games have shown what the squad are capable of if they can now ensure some consistency.

was there a big attendance

**pineapple stu** · 23/06/2007, 11:13 AM

340. About 30 or 40 from Sligo. Thunder and lightening shortly before kick off didn't help.

**pineapple stu** · 23/06/2007, 11:23 AM

Yawn.

I may have counted more in the first half, because the eleven Sligo players were massed behind the ball at the same end of the ground as the Sligo fans - was hard to separate them at times.

Lot of people are reporting it down here as the worst crowd they have seen at a premier league match ever makes you think about the FAI and their super duper league when you have Dundalk and Harps in the first, no offense UCD fans.

Far better attendence than the last time we played in belfield definitly

Around 70-80 Rovers fans you could see them all stand up when we scored

Figures like that for the Premier League of Ireland really say it all.

How many clubs could beat that for Junior Football on a big day, and it says a lot about the future of the sport in this country. Friday Night in our capital city and attracts 340!
