The Glen were down to 14th men in the third minute when midfielder Donal Cronin was dismissed after an off-the-ball incident.

Despite that, Sars lead by just 0-9 to 0-7 at the break and a Patrick Horgan goal had Rovers right in it going into the last quarter. But Jack O’Connor struck back for Sars and they closed it out convincingly.
