Blarney United 0 Springfield Ramblers 1

Springfield Ramblers maintained their challenge for Premier League honours with this win away to Blarney United. Though the home side enjoyed the best of the exchanges in the first ten minutes but Springfield Ramblers began to get the upper hand and played some lovely football on the beautifully appointed pitch at O’Shea Park. The away side created some good chances and were unlucky when a header by Tony O’Donovan from a Jason Abbott was saved by the home goalkeeper. Dale Fitzgerald made a good run on the left but his shot was again saved.

Springfield Ramblers continued to enjoy the best of the possession and kept the ball for long periods with their controlled passing game but were unable to break down the home defence. The breakthrough finally came with a cracker of a shot from Dave Curran on the right wing straight into the top corner for a great individual goal. Best on the day for Springfield Ramblers were Tony O’Donovan, Jason Abbott & Adam Thompson.

Cobh Ramblers 2 Wilton United 2

A poor refereeing decision cost the home team victory in this game. Cobh Ramblers playing the better football throughout the first half were unlucky to concede a goal from a wrongly awarded corner. With the loss of Ross McCarthy in the first half Cobh Ramblers were forced to change their team around in the second half. Driven on by the excellent Niall Griffin & Jamie Moynihan Cobh Ramblers started the second half putting pressure on Wilton and when captain Peter Nolan played an excellent ball to the impressive Alan O’Flynn he beat his marker and crashed a 20 yard shot into the net. With the home team putting extreme pressure on Wilton Dylan McNamara was unlucky not to put Cobh Ramblers ahead. Wilton went ahead again when the referee failed to award Cobh Ramblers a free out and Wilton scored. The home team showed their spirit when another O’Flynn pile driver was spilled by the Wilton keeper and the alert Phelan Followed up to score . Best on the Day were Niall Griffin and Sam Stapleton.

The Team wishes Peter Nolan and Ross McCarthy all the Best in the Irish Trials.
