Thirtysomethings Get Revenge

Thursday Division 1
The top of the table clash between The Known Quantities and The Thirtysomethings was a thriller.  The Thirtysomethings were hoping to avenge their defeat at the hands of The Passage lads in the decider last season. The teams were deadlocked at two each entering the last five minutes. During this period both sides had good opertunities , however it was The Thirtysomethings who managed to score the decisive goal when Shane O Donoghue scored with a fine strike.
Os Navegantes continued their great run of victories with another polished performance and win against an under strength All Blacks.  Paulo was superb for The Portuguese lads and scored a great hat trick.
Ricky Fleming was outstanding for Athletico PTF against a hung over Ex Pats Athletic. Ricky and Ken O Connor scored a brace a piece for the winners.

The Whitfords, Apple Exiles match was a close and competitive affair in the first half. The score at the break was 1-0 in favour of The Whitfords. However, Cameron Espey took control of the encounter in the second period and scored five goals to ensure a comprehensive win for the Whitfords.
The David Daly, Kevin Wilmot combination was magnificent for The Chancers against BNYM. The pair scored an amazing eight goals. Phil Carey notched a brace for BNYM.

Wednesday Division 2
When William Rotte scored his second goal for Balaga Tongo to equalise against Dynamo Tonduff early in the second half all of the momentum was with Balaga. However it was Chris Hayes of Tonduff who scored the next goal to help his team to a 6-2 victory.
Eoin Lawler scored for Mercer in the last minute during their encounter with Far From Athletic to snatch a 3-3 draw for The South Terrace outfit. This was an enthralling match during which the teams swapped lead a number of times and during which both sides had numerous goal opportunities.
