Full time 1-0 Cobh Ramblers 💪What a win!! 🟣🔵
A goal from Dylan McGlade wins the Cork Derby.
A brilliant shift from each and every player battling for every ball and deserving of the points at the end.
Thank you to everybody that travelled to support the team.

Hat Trick Hero @Dylan_McGlade is your Man of the Match this evening! The obvious choice after an incredible display from our number 10.

MATCHDAY and a trip to D4 to take on the students!

The Rams currently sit 5 places behind UCD ahead of tonight’s encounter but only 1 point separates us, so the 3 points on offer tonight could drastically shake up how the table stands.

Kick off from the UCD Bowl is at 7:45pm and as always it’s all live on LOITV!

@ConMurphySport Been saying it for years. Is it a cultural/historical thing? Is it a language barrier that it’s just easier to play in an English speaking country? Is it seen as the road to the premier league?

[Alan O'Brien @aob273]

@emmakatedineen He looks exactly like the type of guy who post a comment like that.

[Alan O'Brien @aob273]

@StattoLOI @CobhRamblersFC have current senior Timor Leste int’l Claudio Osorio in the starting XI, if @BrayWanderers bring on John Bilili Sesay, a current Sierra Leone int’l. When is the last time two current full Int’l players faced each other in the MFD or LOI in general?

[Cobh Ramblers FC @CobhRamblersFC]

Cobh Ramblers FC would like to remind all supporters that the use of pyrotechnics is prohibited in St. Colman’s Park at all times.

Pyrotechnics pose a serious risk to those who use them and all of our fans who are out supporting our club. Their use also has additional consequences by way of fines, sanctions, reparations, repairs and legal fees. We operate a zero tolerance policy on their use and any fan in possession of pyro devices will be removed from the stadium, issued with a stadium ban and reported to Gardaí.

We want to ensure that every fan feels safe and welcome in St. Colman’s Park and we do that by not using pyrotechnics.
