Roche fielded a junior team for the first time on Friday night and while the side performed well in Termonfeckin, the concession of goals proved to be their downfall.
A mixture of first-team players and underage prodigies, the side had eight different scorers, experienced full-forward Caroline O’Neill striking the Emmets goal.
The team are out next on Friday night, June 18, at home to Geraldines (7:30pm).
