Carrigaline United A (3) v Springfield Ramblers B (2)

This was a tough game on a heavy pitch against a team very close to us in the table. We started off brightly with our 5 midfielders pressing high and putting serious pressure on Carrigaline from the first whistle. John Breen, playing as a lone-striker, had a few half chances from winning the ball high up the pitch and racing through on goal only for the Carrig keeper to deny him. After coming close numerous times we went 1-0 up after a great corner kick. Eoin Hovels, who has been an outstanding rock at centre back in our last 5 matches, sent a high ball in from the right only for it to sail over the keeper and into the back of the net. Only for a string of excellent saves from Ben Barrett at the end of the half, it would have been 1-1 at the break.

The second half was a lot more evenly contested with Carrig coming at us, playing downhill for the second half. The defence made up of Jordan Dunphy, Eoin Hovels, Fionn Hanley and Hugh Scannell, absorbed everything that was thrown at them and didn’t leave Carrigaline create any chances. The second goal came at the perfect time, just as the home team were beginning to find their feet. Substitute Jordan Doyle sent an excellent ball across the face of the goal from the right and Evan Schnell found himself unmarked at the back post with the goal at his mercy and fired the away team into a 2-0 lead. We continued to defend well and still created chances to add to our goals until the end of the game. A special mention must go to Ben Barrett, who saved a penalty in the last minute. All performed excellent for us on the day but special credit must go to Ben Barrett, Eoin Hovels, Luke O’ Callaghan and John Breen.

Umbro 15 Division 4
Cobh Ramblers (2) v Carrigtwohill United (3)
Cobh suffered their first league defeat of the season in this local derby. Cobh had no luck in this game going down two nil in the first half due to two own goals. To their credit the lads heads never went down and pulled a goal back early in the second half only to fall behind to a soft header from a Carrigtwohill corner. Cobh were awarded a penalty and scored, after that it was all Cobh for the last ten minutes who really deserved a point at the very least. Scorers jordan o mahony and darren mckevitt. Best player John gardiner.
