Springfield Ramblers 1 Mayfield United 1

Youghal United 2 Springfield Ramblers 3

Springfield Ramblers dominated the first half and led 3-0 at half time, thanks to a superb hat trick from James O’Flynn, and some great saves from Dylan Sheridan. Youghal piled on the pressure in the second half and scored two late goals, but Springfield Ramblers held on for a much deserved victory. Kyle Pender gave a strong performance in midfield and Jason Keating was outstanding in defence, but overall this was a great team performance.

U16 Division 4

Carrigaline Hibs 1 Springfield Ramblers 2

This was another good all round performance in a match played in ideal conditions. Springfield Ramblers scored early in the first half when a through ball by Clive Donnachie was well finished by Danny Roche. Carrigaline equalised just before half time in a tough physical encounter. Midfielder Karl Preston equalised late in the second half when his well struck shot found the net after a scramble for the ball. Man of the match was goalkeeper Eoin Downing who made a string of fine saves to keep the Cobh lads in the game.

U16 Premier League

Leeds 0 Cobh Ramblers 0

Even with an injury depleted squad Cobh Ramblers did more than enough to win this Premier Division tie at Leeds Park. The Cobh side started very brightly and took the game to the home side dominating the exchanges for the first twenty five minutes. During this period Dave Curran and Jason Abbott controlled the midfield area and were the instigators of most of the good play from the away side with their incisive passing and energy. The left sided players Paul Ronan and Lloyd Spillane combined brilliantly to send Ronan in on goal and he was unlucky when he struck his shot wide. Leeds rallied and had the better of the remainder of the first half.

The second half belonged to the Cobh side as they dominated possession in all areas and rained chances in on the Leeds goal. But having created numerous chances they couldn’t finish any of them. The defensive line dealt ably with anything that Leeds threw at them with John Flannigan starring at centre half.
