As a club we were delighted and honoured to hold our golf classic on Friday at Cobh Golf Club
in memory of a man who everyone considered a friend. The inaugural “George Wilshaw Memorial
Golf Classic” was a fantastic success for the club and a fitting tribute to George. We are
so grateful to everyone who had a part in organizing and running the event, especially to the
main man, Brian Fitzgerald and his committee who put so much time and effort into ensuring
that this would be a great occasion.
Many thanks to all the sponsors, especially Harrington’s Garage, the main sponsor. Thanks,
of course, to all who took part on the day and we hope ye all enjoyed it, we certainly got the
weather for it (thanks George). Most importantly a special thanks to Carol Wilshaw and family
for donating the “George Wilshaw Memorial Cup” for the winners of the classic. We hope to be
presenting this cup and remembering the great man for many years to come. In Jack Doyle’s
bar on Friday evening we had the privilege of having Graham, George and Julie present the
cup to the winners of the first classic; Ian and Dave Stack. Congratulations lads.

SPRINGFIELD RAMBLERS U12s FINISH LEAGUE IN STYLE!!!
The U12 girls travelled to unbeaten Kinsale last night trying to avenge their opening day home
defeat at the hands of the same opposition and knowing that a win would at least guarantee a
playoff to decide the title.
Under their manager John Griffin & coaching staff Ted & Graham this brilliant group of girls
have improved throughout the year and travelled to Kinsale high on confidence after their cup
win.
As any top of the table clash should be it was a very tough competitive match but Springfield
went 1 up after 10 minutes with strike from Lara Garcia White and then doudled their lead
with a strike from Áine Griffin before half time. Kinsale came out stronger and after 5 minutes
Courtney parried the ball from a corner whick fell to the kinsale player who finished well to
make it 1-2. The remainder of the game was a battle with defences on top and special mention
has to go to the back 3 of Jane Hovells, Áine Sheridan & Charley Conway Roche who were
outstanding throughout.
It was a very tight game and only until a couple of minutes from time a cross by Áine was
finished strongly by Orla Leahy to wrap up the 3 points.
The girls have now gone 13 games without dropping a point and only conceding 3 goals in
those 13 since losing the opening match 2-3.
We now wait and see how Kinsale finish!!!!!
