Griffin and Bosnjak goals win Munster Senior Cup for Cobh Ramblers
Munster Senior Cup final: Cobh Ramblers 2-0 Rockmount Cobh Ramblers excellent start to the season continued with a 2-0 victory over Rockmount in the Grandons Toyota Munster Senior Cup final at Turner's Cross. Mick McDermott and his players wrapped things up in the first half with Waterford native Shane Griffin and David Bosnjak hitting the back of the net. This is the club's eighth overall success and their third in four seasons, following victories in 2022 and 2023 over Cork City. Rockmount were out to lift the trophy for just the second time, and the sat back from kick-off as Cobh dominated possession. With that came chances, starting with a stunning Bosnjak shot that Oisin Barry pushed out for a corner. Cobh went on to take the lead in the 12th minute after the Rockmount goalkeeper parried the ball inside the box, and Griffin was in the right place head in. The Ramblers kept going, and this drive almost saw Cian Murphy turn in a James O'Leary cross for an own goal. Rockmount eventually broke and Ian Mylod's run was short lived as Cobh easily won the ball-back at the St Anne's End. The Ramblers got their second in the dying seconds of the half, with Bosnjak firing in after the Munster Senior League side struggled to deal with a corner. McDermott wanted more and that mean bringing on Barry Coffey, who did score but that was ruled out over an offside. Samuel Bellis also got into space after collecting a pass from John O'Donovan, and effort was blocked down by the Rockmount defence. The Munster Senior League side went for it late on, and an opportunity to pull a goal back was poked wide by Kieran Keneally at the back post in the 75th minute. The Ramblers responded by closing the game out by simply passing the ball around, something helped by substitute Jonas Hakkinen coming forward and boosting numbers in the middle of the park. COBH RAMBLERS: Timothy Martin; Nolan Evers, Brendeán Frahill, Cian Coleman (Jonas Hakkinen 66), John O'Donovan, Dale Holland (Barry Coffey HT), Jason Abbott, James O'Leary, David Bosnjak, Shane Griffin (Niall O'Keeffe 55), Samuel Bellis (Cian Murphy 75).

MSI Celebrates 50 Years of Excellence
ORANGE, Calif., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- M S International, Inc. (MSI), the leading supplier of flooring, countertops, wall tile, and hardscaping products in North America, is honored to announce that 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the company. 50 years ago, in the basement of their home in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Manu and Rika Shah founded MSI, a business sprouted from the dream of creating jobs, building partnerships, and investing in people. While the natural stone industry was still in its infancy, the Shahs found an opportunity in supplying blocks of granite, which was the success they needed to jumpstart the company to where it is today. In 1984, Manu and Rika moved the company to Southern California to grow MSI full time. Born from a single location, the company grew into a national powerhouse, opening its 50th branch in its 50th year with a large company-owned truck fleet, servicing most of North America in 48 business hours or less. Finding their start in natural stone, MSI quickly expanded their portfolio to include flooring, quartz, wall tile, hardscaping, turf, and more. Technology has been a major pillar of MSI's success, from the early adoption of PCs and fax machines to today's use of AI, augmented reality, drones, and its industry leading website Today, the company continues to consistently introduce new and exciting products for their customers, embracing the shift from selling natural stone commodities to proprietary on-trend designs. MSI grew from producing non-branded products to developing in-house brands across almost all categories, such as W™ Luxury Genuine Hardwood, Q™ Premium Quartz, Rockmount™ Stacked Stone Panels, Arterra® Porcelain Pavers, Evergrass® Artificial Turf, Everlife® Waterproof Flooring, and more. In the process of following their passion and fulfilling their promise of making dream surfaces attainable, the Shahs built a company with over 3,000 US employees. MSI remains family-owned to this day, and family continues to be one of the most important pillars of the company. "This milestone is a testament to the resilience, hard work, and shared vision of every individual who has been part of this incredible journey," said Manu Shah, CEO-Emeritus. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at MSI for their contributions and commitment to our dream." What started as a small dream has grown into a remarkable journey, and MSI is far from stopping their momentum. In 2025, MSI is launching the largest number of new products and product lines and has the highest inventory levels in our 50-year history.
