In any other game, a phenomenal double-save would have been the stand-out highlight.

However, the Airtricity League First division clash between Cobh Ramblers and Shelbourne wasn't your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill game. For starters, it took place in the greatest league in the world, with that comes a few expectations. So really, this incredible double-save from Cobh keeper Paul Hunt was just par for the course. An acrobatic save from a header at the near post was followed up by an even more acrobatic save across to goal to prevent the rebound from crashing into the open net. https://twitter.com/CobhRamblersFC/status/858081716518486019 As amazing as that moment of magic was, there was arguably a more magical moment from Karl Caulfield, also of Ramblers. Five minutes after the restart, Caulfield was played into the box with a perfectly-weighted through-ball. With his first touch, he produced a delightful chip that went sailing over the opposition goalkeeper's head and into the corner of the net. That goal turned out to be the game-winner, and the three points it earned saw his side go top of the First Division. https://twitter.com/CobhRamblersFC/status/858073405744189445
