Knowns defend Title

Thursday Division 1

The Known Quantities and The Thirtysomethings squared off to decide the championship on Tuesday night. Both teams had chances early in the encounter but the deadlock was broken half way through the first half when Gordon Lynch scored for The Knowns with a superb strike. The Knowns scored a second a few minutes later but Luca Gastoldi gave The Thirtys some hope when he scored a fine goal just before the break. However that hope was short lived as Gordon Lynch scored a second super long rang goal to seal the win and the title for his team. The final score was 5-4.

With the pressure off, having secured the title, The Knowns, were outstanding in their match against The All Blacks which they won 7-3. Peter O Flynn notched a hat trick for the winners.

The Athletico PTF, Thirtysomethings encounter was a thriller, during which some marvellous goals were scored. Frank Hickey was outstanding for PTF and contributed a marvellous goal for his team. However the best goal of the match was that scored by Eamon Walsh for PTF with a powerful strike from twenty yards. The final score was 5-4 in favour of Athletico.

A typically well organised Ex Pats outfit worked very hard and just about deserved their 3-2 win against an under strength Os Navegantes. New boy Eoin Sheehy played very well for The Pats and scored a brace. As usual Paulo Santos was outstanding for Navegantes.

Thursday Division 2

Kieran McGuire was outstanding for South City during their encounter with Panicyakos and scored five goals during the 5-5 draw. With ten minutes left it looked like South City were going to finish the season on a high with their first victory of the season, but two late goals for Panicyakos scuppered the celebrations.

The high light of The BNY, Whitfords encounter was the marvellous long range goal scored by Dermot Herlihy for The Whitfords. The final score was 3-1 in favour of The Whitfords.

It looked like JT Specials would finish the season on a high note when they were two goals ahead with fifteen minutes left during their clash against CPL FC. However CPL scored four unanswered goals in the closing stages to win 5-3. Davis Ward scored a hat trick for the winners.

The Chancers finished their championship winning season in fine style with a 3-0 win against Apple Exiles. However the encounter was a lot closer than the score suggest. Apple made The Chancers work very hard for the win.

Wednesday Division 3

Frank Carley of BNY scored a magnificent last minute goal from 20 meters to earn his side a 2-2 draw with The Hot Shots. Anthony Dunne and Robert O Callaghan were on the mark for The Hot Shots while man of the match, Phil Carey scored BNYs first goal.

Sons of Pitches were crowned champions after their emphatic 4-1 win against Fritzl Palace. Jerry O Reilly was outstanding for the winners and scored three fine goals. Sean Tobin scored for Fritzl.

James Mealy scored four goals for Substandard Liege during their 7-2 win against O Donovan electrical. O Donovans, who were the league leaders up to last week, will be disappointed with this performance.

Wednesday Division 1

Temple Inn Dians defeated Nualight 5-2 in an encounter during which Kevin Garde was magnificent for Temple and scored a great hat trick. However the high light of the game was the goal scored for Nualight by Aaron Maguire when he skipped past three opponents before slotting the ball calmly into the corner of the goal.

Brian Wise scored a hat trick for The Kids and was generally outstanding during his teams 4-0 win against an under strength Racing.

Leonard Murphy scored an incredible five goals for Crofton during their comprehensive victory against Novartis.

Wednesday Division 2

Aaron Atkinson and Pat O Regan scored a hat trick a piece for Far From Athletic against United to finish their season on a high, as runners up for a third successive time. Hopefully they will finally win some silverware next season.

Hit and Miss and Balaga Tonga played a thriller during which Hit and Miss recovered a 3-0 deficit to draw 3-3. Dave Sinnott was the H and M hero when he scored two second half goals. Philip Sweetnam and Philip Cotter were best for Balaga.
