Division 1 Champions Start Well

The Summer Footy Summer league started again last week with 36 teams participating. The Spring division 1 champions The Kids and The Unknown Quantities, now The Known Quantities both started their campaigns with good wins and will be difficult to dethrone this season.

Wednesday Division 2
Douglasmortgage.ie made a miraculous recovery in their encounter with Far From Athletic. Douglas were 5-1 down at half time having been completely outplayed by a sharp Far From outfit. Far From may have relaxed a little in the second half but a resurgent Douglas completely dominated in this period and went on to score six unanswered goals to win 7-5.
Hit and Miss got their division 2 campaign off to a great start with a comprehensive win over Dynamo Tonduff. The match was only thirty seconds old when Jody Sinnott scored a wonder goal with a volley direct from a throw in. Dan Williams and Chris Irwin bagged a hat trick a piece for the winners.
Colin McCarthy was the hero for Mercer when he notched two goals during their 3-2 victory over United. The high light of the match was the marvellous free kick from Fiachra O Driscoll for United and save from the Mercer keeper after which the ball trickled over the goal line.
Rory Browne scored four times for Balaga Tongo during their 4-2 win over The B69ers. Tom Barry scored early for the 69ers with a great drive from 20 yards to give The Barrack street lads an early lead but with Joe Dempsey in top form Balaga soon took control.

Wednesday Division 3
The Hot Shots and Fritzl Palace began life in footy.ie with a very entertaining match which Fritzl Palace just shaded with a 3-2 win. Conor Healy scored a magnificent free kick from 25 yard for the winners before Anthony Dunne scored an even more impressive individual goal after a great run.
BNY FC were unlucky to loose 3-2 to Sons of Pitches in a thrilling encounter. Frank Carley opened the scoring for BNY with an outstanding effort but two goals scored by Shane Forde helped The Pitches to win.
Rob Wall opened the scoring for O Donovans in the last minute of the first half to give the electricians a 1-0 half time lead against The Castlemartyres. There was only one score separating the sides with five minutes to go when Trevor Deady and Declan Dwyer both scored to seal the win for O Donovans.
A brave performance by The Average Joes against Substandard Liege with just six men left them behind by one at the end after having drawn level with ten minutes remaining. The high light of this encounter was a great goal scored by Pat Coleman for the winners.

Wednesday Division 1
The Kids began this season in the same vein as they finished the last. Despite three fine goals Vadry Gorobets for FC Crofton The kids had too much fire power and went on to win 8-6. Eoghan Murphy bagged a hatrick for the winners.
John Desmond was the man of the match for Novartis during their 4-4 draw with The temple Inn Dians. Mark O Neil scored three for Temple.
Despite a great performance by Mark Scanlon in goal for Nualight, Racing Club went on to win this encounter comprehensively. Gavin O Connor and Colin Keane both scored hat tricks for the winners.

Thursday Division 2
Apple Exiles and BNYM were very evenly matched during their encounter which ended 1-1. The high light of the match was a marvellous goal scored by Flor McCarthy for BNY to equalise after Ronan Geary had given Apple an early lead.
Both goal keepers were in top form during the JT Specials, South City match which ended in a 3-0 win for the specials. John McCarthy scored twice for the winners.
The Chancers began their campaign with a comprehensive win over The Whitfords. David Daly was in great form for the winners and scored five goals. The Chancers are the early favourites to win this division.
Rory Walsh was in great for CPL FC and scored five goals during their encounter against Paniyakos. Alan Jordan and Donal Mulvahill were also impressive for the winners. Seamus o Brien and Igoras Rogacious did well for The East Cork lads.

Thursday Division 1
The Os Navagantes and All Blacks encounter was a match of two halves. The Portuguese lads with Joao and Pedro Rodriguez playing well dominated the first and deserved to lead 3-0 at half time. The All Blacks turned on the style in the second period and scored some magnificent goals. They went on to win 5-3. Rob Healy notched a second half hat trick for the Blacks.
A man of the match performance by Anthony Doyle in goal for the Booze Crew prevented The Know Quantities from demolishing The Booze crew. Ken Hourahan and Gordon Lynch were excellent for the winners while Padraig McGovern scored three.
Athletico PTF scored three first half goals against an out of sorts Ex Pats Athletic to stat their campaign with a win. Chris Dennehy, Gary Leahy and Jan Oosterhof were on the mark for the winners.
