The 26-time champions took the lead with a try after eight minutes from winger Conor Pearson, playing with the advantage of the wind in the opening half.
A Jack Flannery penalty after 15 minutes extended Rockwell’s lead to 8-0.
Dylan Farrelly scored Rockwell’s second try and Flannery converted for a 15-0 half-time lead.
Joseph Johnston scored a try for Castletroy 11 minutes into the second-half and Sam Burns converted but Castletroy were unable to add to that tally.
