Wednesday Division 2
CUH were very fortunate to emerge from their encounter with Balaga Tonga with three points. Trailing 4-5, Balaga bombarded the CUH goal for the final 10 minutes but just couldn’t score an equaliser. Rory Browne and Eoghan Kennedy scored a brace a piece for Balaga while Ivan Weir and Rory Barry responded with braces for CUH.
In the battle between experience and youth involving Rosies and Far From Athletic, it was the industry and energy of youth that won the day. The encounter was a lot closer than the 7-2 score suggests.
When Club Redz reduced the deficit to one having been behind by three, it looked like they might go on to win their competition with Sons of Pitches. However The Pitches managed to change the momentum and went on to win 7-4
Dave Spiteri and Jimmy Reardon were outstanding for The Bons against douglasmortgage.ie. After a great first half of the season Douglas are struggling at the moment, and were never in contention against a skilful Bons who deserved their 6-2 win.
Wednesday Division 1
Man of the match, Steve Dwyer scored a great hat trick for Temple Inn Tigers against QEF in a very entertaining match. Dave Johnson and Rory Perry were also on the mark for the Ballintemple lads while Ryan Nolan and Maurice Henderson were impressive for QEF.
It looked like a surprise was on the cards when Niall Buckley scored a great goal for Dynamo Tonduff against Racing after 30 seconds. However this encounter was the Chen Show. The Chinese lad put on a top class performance and even though Tonduff got back on even terms before half time, they had no answer to Chens speed and skill. He scored 4 goals for Racing, who went on to win 5-2.
Wednesday Division 3
James Mealy was immense for Substandard Liege during their encounter with Barstoolona. Even though Substandard were short a player in the first half they were ahead at half time. When their seventh player arrived they totally dominated.
Aidan Ryan was the hero for The Boca Seniors against BNYM FC when he scored a last minute winner. The teams were deadlocked at 2-2 after a great contest when Ryan poached the winner to leave the unlucky BNYM devastated.
The Castlemartyres overcame a very strong Average Joes to secure their most impressive scalp yet. Alistair Murphy was outstanding for the winners and bagged a fine hat trick. Erik Montgomery and Joe O’Sullivan stood out for The Joes.
Thursday Division 1
The All Blacks were brought back down to earth when they were defeated convincingly by a very strong Unknown Quantities outfit. The Unknowns are undefeated and are growing in confidence every week.
The Thirtysomethings, who are also undefeated put in another strong performance but had to work very hard to defeat a resilient Pity The Fool 3-0. It took three outstanding goals from Niall Kerrigan, Jake McAuliffe and Mark Murphy to breach the Pity defence.
The Booze Crew returned to winning ways with a hard earned win against The Bandits. Dave Walsh was outstanding for The Sailors while their goals were scored by Brian Stapleton, Anthony Doyle and Damien O Leary.
The Ex Pats rediscovered some form this week when they defeated United 3-1. The high light of this fixture was the comical goal conceded by the Pats keeper (Sorry Rob). It was lucky for him that they had a two goal cushion at the time.
Thursday Division 2
The Net Busters were outstanding again this week and were never in any danger during their encounter with The Whitfords. However, The Cobh lads didn’t have it all their own way. The Whitfords competed well in the second half and scored two fine goals, one of which was a great strike by their prolific striker Cameron Espee.
The battle of New York was won by Bank of NY 4-3 as they completed the double over their work colleagues at BNY Mellon. The teams were deadlocked at 2-2 at half time. However the winners scored two crucial goals early in the second half by Sean Tobin and Ricky Fleming to seal the win.
The encounter between TA Sheehan and The Flying Column was a very scrappy affair in the first half during which Noel Hayes scored for The Column. TA Sheehans improved in the second half but were denied by some top class saves by Brendan Cotter. Alan Mullery scored a great second for The Column close to full time to ensure the win.
It looked like JT Specials would get at least a point from their game against Apple Exiles when they came from two down to all square with ten minutes left. However two late goals by Apple scuppered any JT celebrations.
The CPL FC and Panikyakos match was a ding dong affair with first one team going ahead, only for the other to equalise and go ahead. The 3-3 score was a fair result as neither team deserved to loose.
The 49ers maintained their 100% record with a fine 6-3 win against South City. The high light of the match was the outstanding strike from a free for the 49ers by Martin Murphy. Barry Keane also scored a fine goal for south City.
