Carrig put in their best performance of the season in a narrow 3-2 loss away to a strong Springfield Ramblers side, who currently sit second in the league. This was a night full of effort, quality, and team spirit from the entire squad.

Springfield opened the scoring early, netting from a right-wing move just 2 minutes in. Carrig hit back shortly after — a brilliant corner from Rachel caused confusion in the box and led to an own goal, making at 1-1. 💥

Nicola made a crucial save in a 1-on-1 to keep the scores level, but Springfield edged ahead again on 28 minutes (2-1). Carrig stayed composed and responded with another perfectly delivered corner from Rachel, this time controlled and finished calmly by Sophie for her *first senior goal* – 2-2! 👏

The second half was intense. Springfield missed a big chance with a penalty that went wide, and Carrig’s defence held strong, with Cornelia and Eorann exceptional at the back. Nicola made multiple excellent saves and dealt with pressure superbly.

Springfield continued to press and eventually scored what proved to be the winner with 18 minutes left on the clock. Carrig battled bravely to the end, looking for a late equaliser, but just couldn’t find the breakthrough.

A brilliant all-round team performance, full of heart and hard work. Against one of the top teams in the league, all 16 players left everything on the pitch. The quality and belief are building every week — and results will follow. 💙⚽🙌
