Umbro 12 Division 4

Springfield Ramblers B 7 Mallow United A 1

A 5 goal haul by man of the match Evan O’Leary, a towering performance at centre half by Shane Kensal powered the home side to a convincing win over Mallow. Having come off the back of two heavy defeats over the last couple weeks the home side pulled up their socks and gave a highly entertaining, energetic performance capped by some fine individual performances from those already mentioned plus Ger Devlin and Evan Scannell. Also squeezed in between Evan O’Leary’s 5 goal haul where goals from Ger Devlin and Brad Stapleton.

The home side had to make some changes at the start with our regular goalkeeper unavailable and two other players having to withdraw due to illness. Sean Butler stood between the posts plus 2 U11 players Evan Scannell and Dean O’Leary provided us with the cover and all 3 had an excellent game.

Well done to the home side.

U12 Cup

Castleview 0 Springfield Ramblers A 5

Springfield dominated this game from start to the end playing some excellent football. Pushed on at every chance by Emeka who scored two great goals and put in a man of the match display. Lewis Whelan scored a fantastic free kick into the top corner giving the keeper no chance. The other goals were scored by goal-poacher supreme Brian Danaj one from the spot and the other from a goalmouth scramble. Others to impress were David Sloane who was solid at the back.
