Springfield Ramblers got off to a great start scoring 2 early goals helping them to settle into their passing game. A non-stop threat from Tom at full back & Ciaran on the right side of mid created numerous chances giving them a 4 goal lead at half time. Louis and Nathan bossed the midfield for the whole game while Diarmuid and Colin were a constant threat in the second half which led to Mikey getting his well-deserved hat-trick.  The goals were scored by Mikey (3) Ciaran, Diarmuid, Brian & Colin. Well done to the lads, keep up the good work.

Springfield Ramblers Under 12 Girls reached the final of the under 12 Evening Echo Cup with a hard fought victory over Richmond F.C. on Wednesday last.

With the hardworking midfield of Eve Allen, Leigh Tarrant, Kadi Cronin and Sarah Duggan they gradually got back into the game with a fine goal from centre forward Ava Stapleton just before half time.
After the break Lauren Egboliniu scored from the penalty spot to put Springfield Ramblers ahead.
Then with fine displays from forwards Amy Burns, Louise Burke, Emily Keating, Ava Stapleton and Lauren Egboliniu Springfield Ramblers scored again with goals from Ava Stapleton, Lauren Egboliniu and Louise Burke to win 5-1.
