Rockwell’s Rally Falls Just Short
Mullinahone 2- 5 Rockwell Rovers 1 – 5
When Rockwell Rovers and Mullinahone lined up in Fethard on Saturday evening for this county under 21B football final patrons expected an exciting game. Both sides had rather narrow wins in their respective semi-finals. Rockwell had defended well to overcome Newport while the Mullinahone attack had functioned sweetly to overcome Upperchurch. By a strange coincidence the very first county under 21B football championship in 1987 had been won by Rockwell Rovers when they defeated Ardfinnan after a replay. The following year Mullinahone had overcome Loughmore to win the title. In the twenty years since neither side had won a second title.
