Springfield Ramblers - 2

Report:

Carrigtwohill got back to winning ways on Sunday Morning with a 3-2 win over Springfield in Ballyadam. 

We started the game on the front foot form the first whistle and scored after 2 mins when a long throw from Callum Byrne was flicked on by Matti Hodnett who found Dylan Harvey and the back post and he neatly sloted it home. 30 seconds after the restart we made it 2 when Matti Hodnett received the ball out side the box struck an unstoppable shot into the bottom corner. We had more chances in the next 15 mins with Sean Barry, and Alex Fogarty going close. On 30 mins Springfield were back in the game when a through ball down the centre caught us out and a cool finish from the striker made it 2-1. Callum Byrne's long throws were causing them serious problems and we made it 3-1 soon after when Alex Fogarty latched on to another monster throw and he slotted it home from close range. 3-1 at the break. 

2nd half Springfield up the tempo and had a few chances only to be denied by Konrad in goals. We then thought we should have had a pen when Garry OG was bundled over in the box but the ref waved play on, 2 mins later and Garry OG had the ball in the back of the net but was chalked off for offside. 10 mins to go and an unfortunate own goal by Callum Byrne making it 3-2. To be fair we saw the game out well and deserved the 3 points. We have now won 3 and lost 1 in our first 4 games and sit top of the table. Some great performances again today especially from Callum Byrne and Alex Fogarty but our MOTM goes to Matti Hodnett for his endless work rate and his spectacular goal.

Next up Away to Fermoy on Sunday morning. Hopefully another 3 points
