Rovers ease to win in Swilly to climb to second spot in USL

Letterkenny Rovers moved into second place in the Four Lanterns Ulster Senior League thanks to a comfortable win over Swilly Rovers in Ramelton.

Swilly Rovers 0 v Letterkenny Rovers 5

Letterkenny went ahead on 16 minutes when Garbhan Grant’s corner was headed home by ace marksman Darren McElwaine.

It was two-nil a minute later when McElwaine lobbed the keeper from close range.

Kevin McGrath played a delightful ball to Grant who finished well on 23 minutes.

Grant hammered home a superb goal on 52 minutes for Letterkenny showing great composure in the box to make it four-nil.

Jamie Blaney in the Swilly goal denied Paul McVeigh soon after with a fine save, but McVeigh’s close range finish made it five-nil on 86 minutes.

Swilly Rovers: Ben Boyle, Ryan Mc Daid, Shaun Crossan, Rory McCrossan, Duncan Patterson, Matthew McLaughlin, Michael Murray, Marty McDaid, Paul Clarke, Jordan Nugent, Brad Patterson. Subs: Warren Patterson, Jamie Blaney.

Letterkenny Rovers: Rory Kelly, Ryan Lonergan, Luke Nelis, Conor Tourish, Odhran Mc Macken, Declan Sharkey, Garbhan Grant, Chris Malseed, Darren McElwaine, Kevin Mc Grath, Paul Mc Veigh. Subs: Darren Ferry, Steve Okape Emer, Calvin O’Brien, Christy Conaghan, David Shovelin, John Roulstone.
