What a way to christen the new AstroTurf pitch!

Carrigtwohill got off to the perfect start and went a goal up early, but a very good Springfield side from Cobh showed exactly why they're so tough to beat. They fought back brilliantly and punished us to go in 3–1 up at half-time.

It would have been easy for heads to drop, but this group just doesn't do that.

Led superbly by captain Aine Thornhill, who was outstanding from start to finish, Carrigtwohill came out flying in the second half. Aine kept everyone calm, kept everyone going and led by example all over the pitch when we needed it most.

The girls were brought right back into the game by a superb, energetic brace from Eabha Murphy.

Then, fittingly, a goal from the soon-to-be-departing Sarah Kelleher completed the comeback.

Huge credit to Springfield, who made us work for every single bit of it, and huge credit to our girls for never giving up!
