Under 15 National Cup

Corinthian Boys 0 Springfield Ramblers 1

Gavin Lynch was the hero for Springfield Ramblers in this keenly fought National Cup Tie at Castletreasure, scoring the winning goal with ten minutes remaining. Springfield Ramblers started well putting the Corinthians defence under pressure several times with great attacks on either flank. These were driven by Adam Thompson and Dave Curran on the right and Paul Ronan and Gavin Lynch on the left. Corinthians began to control the game as the half wore on and were unlucky when one shot came back off the foot of a post and when Shane Hallahan made a great one handed save to beat away another shot.

In the second half Springfield Ramblers began to gain the upper hand when they succeeded in keeping possession for long periods and created several chances. The wing play of Gavin Lynch and Dave Curran was very effective during this period and this work was consolidated by solid defensive work from centre backs Brendán Frahill and Marc Wyatt, with the centre midfield pairing of Jason Abbott and Tony O’Donovan keeping the moves flowing. The centre forward pairing of Dave Cahill and Daniel Santry worked tirelessly across the front line keeping the Corinthians defence constantly under pressure.
With twenty minutes remaining substitute Luke O’Neill made a great run and was brought down at the edge of the box on his first touch. The ensuing free kick was brilliantly struck by Dave Curran and it struck the foot of the post and Corinthians cleared. With Springfield Ramblers continuing to press the winning goal came when Jason Abbott made a break towards the edge of the penalty area and passed to Gavin Lynch who cut in from the left and slotted the ball into the far corner to the delight of all the players and watching supporters.

This was a great win for Springfield Ramblers against the Premier League leaders and the team has now qualified out of the Cork section and in to the last 36 of the National Cup and are rewarded with a home tie in the next round.

Under 14 National Cup

Rockmount 1 Springfield Ramblers 0

This was a good display from Springfield Ramblers in this National Cup tie played in Rockmount Park against one of the top teams in the Premier Division. Injuries to two players in the first half restricted Springfield Ramblers attacking options. The defence played well and kept Rockmount out until three minutes before the end of extra time. Then with the last attack of the game Springfield Ramblers were denied an equalizer after a great run by Kieran Histon. Best on the day was Adam Devlin. The starting back four also played well Danny Noonan, Ruben O’Callaghan, Jason Keating, and Niall Galvin. 

All other games postponed.
