Sheppard goal earns Rovers victory

AIRTRICITY LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION:

The hosts made an impressive opening and could well have scored in the fourth minute but James Chambers’ 20-yard shot was directed too close to Barry Ryan, who saved comfortably.

Within six minutes, Ryan was again called into action, back-pedalling to great effect when deflecting a Conor Powell shot from 30 yards over the crossbar as the hosts monopolised possession in the early stages.
