Glenanne 2 (Graham Shaw, Stephen Butler) TRR 2 (Patrick Shanahan, Peter McConnell)Three Rock came away slightly the happier with an away point in Glenanne despite leading at 2-1 as a reduced side once again took the field - this time Neil Lyons, Andy McConnell, Mick Maguire, Peter Blakeney and Tim Hill in the stands.
An even first half ended 0-0 before Graham Shaw opened the scoring, a great strike with his back to goal. Patrick Shanahan equalised with a tidy first time shot before Peter McConnell gave Rovers the lead from a corner, taking a heavy deflection off Stephen Butler to bamboozle Steven Doran.
But the Glens came back strong, Shane O'Donoghue and Gary Shaw both hitting the outside of the goal while Butler made it 2-2 from the penalty spot after Graham Shaw's deflection hit a Rovers body in the goal.

Fingal 4 (Mick McGuinness 2, Adrian Sweeney, David Bane) Railway Union 3 (Paul O'Brien, Mark English, Fred Gilmore)
Fingal survived a massive scare as Railway came from 4-0 down with 15 minutes to go, scoring three times and having a Paul O'Brien deflection chalked off with two minutes to go which would have levelled matters.
O'Brien also had the ball in the net in the first half but was also disallowed, though a corner was probably the correct decision. Two Mick McGuinness drag-flicks and an Adrian Sweeney goal gave the Airport-side a 3-0 half-time which Dave Bane added to early in the second half as Railway struggled to keep pace.
The young Railway side, though, is definitely growing in confidence and mounted a mighty comeback, O'Brien tapping in, Mark English cracking in a stunner and Fred Gilmore sneaking in at the back post to threaten to steal an unlikely point.
YMCA 6 (Jacob Webber 4, Richard Pedreschi, Marcus Miller) Kilkenny 0
YM eased to victory in a game delayed due to the traffic surrounding the Leinster game which saw some of the Cats arrive late for the push-back. Their road-weariness contrasted with YM's sprightly start and they were five up by the break, thanks in the main to Australian Jacob Webber.
He grabbed four for himself on the day with Richie Pedreschi knocking in a superb reverse - on a day for stunning goals - pinging into the top left corner. YM move out of the play-off place with Kilkenny dropping down to ninth.
Pembroke 3 (Alan Sothern 2, Tim Lewis) Monkstown 0
Alan Sothern added to his amazing scoring record this season with anothe two, the second being one of the finest the young striker will score. His piledriver from right on the baseline nearly busted the net as it flew over Dave Fitzgerald's head. It came in the second half and was augemented by Tim Lewis' corner deflection and the 3-0 win.
After an early stalemate, Sothern's first came from a counter-attack while Monkstown probably finished the half the stronger. Pembroke's best period came early in the second half before consolidating once the lead was built up.
Fitzgerald pulled off a few fine saves while David Harte was also in top form, producing an outstanding double-save to keep his sheet clean.

Stephen
does anyone know why ucd corinthians game was postponed
I got a text at 12.30pm saying Belfield was frozen. The game was due to get underway at 1pm.
Any results from the ladies section?
Its about time Pedreschi got his name on the score card...
gd preformance from Railway.heard they were denied a definet goal in the 1st half as well as being denied another one with 2mins to go.
watched the rovers glennane game today. thought rovers didnt play well, only for their defence that kept them from losing. but just shows that they play mediocre and without 4/5 usual squad players and still get results against number 3/4 in ireland team, glennane.
also dont think the game was controlled well enough by the two men in charge. they're usually very good in making decisions.
Who saw Sotherns goal? Contention for goal of the season.
Definitely goal of the season.....unbelievable strike!!!!!!
Sothern's goal was outstanding defo goal of the season
was also at glens game...umpires did a great job keeping all players on pitch...what control issues?????.was a poor game overall and was let flow when they could.
Goal of the Season was scored in Division 2 Yesterday Alan Early latched onto a pass from Ronan Gannon on top right of the circle and hit it with such force keeper never even moved.....What a goal. And without his usual partner up front he still dictated everything.
Surely its not to late for him to play divsion one. Clontarf might consider a swap.
Sothern's goal was quality, what a finish! He's the most dangerous forward in leinster without a shadow of doubt...
with out question.
It was an ubelieveable goal, no question for goal of the season. He seems to just finish everything on his reverse. Sick
Pedreschi's top corner reverse could probably be best goal aswel! Keeper didnt even see it, neither did most of the players!
any more pics of glens trr?
Not that i would ever even consider another team but its about 10 years and 3 stone too late i think Skerries are the only team that would have me.
But who ever my fan is thanks very much.
Pedreschi's goal was the most unbelievable goal i have ever seen in my life... I think it nearly made a whole in the top corner it was so good... He ran the whole pitch aswell before the goal...What a man!
who is pedreschi?
he is a defenders worst night mare, probably one of the quickest in the league he just burns players, probably having a bit of difficulty with these icy conditons making the pitch so slippery
hes a quality player
some say he's quicker than peter yeates from kilkenny
Stephen could you find out if nthe rumours of the YM vs KK game being abandoned are true and if so the circumstances of the abandonment i.e. how long was left as if the game was abandoned then there are clear indescrepancies in relation to the result .
