Unknown Keeper Is Hero

Goal Keeper Charley Quinn was the hero for The Unknown Quantities who were very lucky to survive an incredible Booze Crew comeback. Leading 5-1, well into the second half the Unknowns took their foot off of the gas and would have paid the ultimate price if Charlie Quinn hadn’t made a string of top notch saves including a penalty save when the score was 5-4. This save seemed to inspire his team mates and they went on to win 7-4.
The All Blacks finally played to their potential during their 4-1 win against The Bandits. Man of the match Philip Healy was outstanding for the Mount Oval lads and scored a fine goal.
Pity The Fool got back on track this week with a good 4-0 win over an under strength United. Despite having only six players, United were still in the match at half time as the score was 1-0. However the gaps began to appear late in the match as United tired and Pity were able to capitalise.
The Thirtysomething stunned The Ex Pats with three very early goals. This enabled them to defend in numbers and employ counter attacking tactics which they used to great effect. Mark murphy and Jake McAuliffe were immense for the men in Black and White.

Thursday Division 2
A hat trick scored by Colin Deevy of BNY FC against The Flying Column was the difference between the sides in a match that was all square at 2-2 at half time.  Noel Hayes and |Dan McCarthy were on the score sheet for the Column in the first half but Paul Kearney didn’t concede for BNY in the second.
The encounter of the evening was the thriller between Bank of NY and TA Sheehans. It looked like Bank of NY would saunter to an easy win when they scored two early goals  but a brace a piece for Jack Sheehan and Darren Ronan for Sheehans shifted the momentum in favour of the accountants. However a late couple of goals by Sean Tobin saved the day for Bank of NY and tied the match at 4-4.
JT Specials were very unlucky to leave empty handed when they lost 3-2 to The Whitfords. A late goal from Gavin Roser gave the Whitfords the win.
The Net Busters defeated Apple Exiles 3-2 to maintain their five point lead at the top of the division. Damien Byrne, John Sexten and Jake Smith were the scorers for the Busters while Mark Kirwin and Val Sexton were on the score sheet for Apple.

Thursday Division 3
Colin Irwin and Robert Cole were immense for The 49ers during their 4-2 over CPL FC. Irwin and Dave Johnson scored a pair each for the winners while former Dragons Rory Walsh and Alan Jordan were on the mark for CPL.
Panicyaikos finally got off of the mark with a single goal win over South City. Man of the match, Kieran McCarthy scored a couple for the winners but it was Seamus O Brien who was the hero when he scored a last minute winner. Mark McGuire and Dave Domican scored for South City.

Wednesday Division 2
Far From Athletic made up some ground on the leaders when their star player, Wayne O Callaghan notched a last minute winner against Sons of Pitches. It looked like The Pitches had earned a tie when Jay Nixon equalised with time running out but O Callaghan’s third goal gave Far From a 3-2 win.
Douglasmortgage.ie were denied a dramatic win against league leaders CUH by a late Sean Sheehan equaliser. Even though CUH dominated possession, Douglas were ahead with minutes remaining but Sheehans late strike scuppered the Douglas celebrations.
A great hat trick by Eoghan Kennedy was the difference between the sides during the Bons, Balaga Tonga clash. The score was 2-2 at half time, but two early second half goals gave Balaga the cushion they needed to take the points. Jimmy Reardon and Dave Spiteri were very good for the Bons.
Barry Greaney was excellent in a well marshalled and disciplined defensive unit for Club Redz during their encounter with Rosies. However, Kieran Hurly managed to breach the defence on two occasions but ended up on the wrong side of the 3-2 score.

Wednesday Division 1
QEF set the tone for the rest of the match when Ray Keating scored in the first minute against Racing Club. The high light of the encounter was an outstanding headed goal by Ryan Nolan of QEF during their 6-1 win.
Newcomer Rory Perry made an immediate impact for Temple Inn Tigers when he scored 4 four goals in the first 20 minutes during their clash with Dynamo Tonduff. Joe Harte and Sean O Connell tried hard for Tonduff.
It looked like The Refugees would have a serious challenge on their hands when Colin Keane scored a superb opener for Match.com. However, it wasn’t long until Robert Kriegal and company steadied the ship and went on to win convincingly.

Wednesday Division 3
The match of the evening was the top of the table encounter between Hit and Miss and The Average Joes. It was a match of contrasting styles, Hit and Miss being a more fluid attacking outfit while The Average Joes are a defensive counter attacking team. It was a great game and a 2-2 draw was a fair result. Joe O Sullivan and Erik Montgomery were outstanding for The Average Joes while Peter Sinnott and Dan McSweeney were excellent for  Hit and Miss.
Justice was done when James Mealy scored with the last kick of the match after being denied three times previously by the goal posts. Pat Coleman stole the show by scoring four during the 6-2 victory for Substandard Liege over Boca Seniors.
Sean Cronin was a commanding figure at the back for The Castlemartyres during their 6-2 win against Marys Ramblers. Luke McKeon bagged a brace for The Martyrs while Dave Maloney and Adrian Hickey were on the mark for Marys.
Frank Carley was the hero for BNYM when he saved a penalty with four minutes left against Barstoolona to tie the match 2-2. William Punch and Paul O Leary scored for Barstool while Paul Creedon and Shay O Connell were on the mark for BNYM.
