Pembroke beat reigning champs Three Rock Rovers on Sunday to take the National Indoor title for the second time in our history.  The win means the lads now qualify for European competition next year.

Three Rock took the lead in a close opening half, but goals from Ronan Gormley and Mick O Connor put Pembroke back into the ascendancy.

Rovers fought back through Patrick Shanahan quickly but that was to be their last goal of the game, further goals from Pembroke coming from Alan Sothern, the first just before the break (2) and Conor Harte to wrap matters up.
