Bons Defeat CUH

Wednesday Division 1

The Bons again overcame CUH in a closely fought encounter, Ian Forde put in an outstanding display for the Bons, who led 3-1 at the break and spent much of the 2^nd half defending. CUH pushed hard for the equaliser but came up short as the Bons held on.

Padraig McGovern and Ryan Nolan were in great form for Racing and their goals helped them to a valuable 3 points and a good win over an under strength Douglas Mortgage side. Douglas enjoyed a lot of possession but lacked penetration and this suited the Racing Club’s counter attacking game.

Far From Ath kept in touch with the leaders with a 6-3 win over Cork Celtic. Aaron Atkinson and Pat O’Regan were best for Far From and both bagged hatricks. Rob Bowen and Gavin McAdam were on the mark for Celtic while David James scored and incredible goal, definitely a goal of the season contender.

3 early goals from Brian Murphy was the key ingredient for Hit or Miss as they beat Boca Seniors 6-3. Dan Williams was again excellent for the winners as was Dan McSweeney. Paul Richardson fought hard for Bocas.

Balaga Tonga had a hard fought 3-1 win over Dynamo Tonduff to stay joint top with the Golden Oldies  who had an easy win over the Crew. Philip Cotter was central to Balaga win and put in a good shift in midfield. Killian Hogan and Eoin Cotter were best for the Oldies as they dominated the Crew in a one sided affair.

Multiple Scoregasams also won rather easily, as the beat the Pink Panthers, but the scoreline could have been worse only for and excellent performance from the Panthers keeper.

  

Wednesday Division 3

MP O’Sullivans secured the 3 points in a great game with the Baggios. Pedro Oliveros put the Baggios ahead with a cracking shot early on in the game. But the boys from the fruit & veg outfit fought back and worked very hard throughout the game and just about deserved their victory.

Alan Forde was excellent and scored a brace, but an OG and a sin bin for Baggios did not help their cause.

Gowlacticos showed great character coming back from 3 nil down and put an end to Rosies recent revival as they beat them 6-3. Barry Fitzgerald and Michael Keohane were best for Gowlacticos while Rosies could not maintain the pace at which they started the game.

Bank of New York held off a spirited Fritzl Palace team and won 6-4.

Declan McMahon was in tremendous form for the Bankers and scored a hatrick, while Mike Wren did likewise for Palace who had the upper hand in the 2^nd half but could not turn their possession into goals.

Thursday Division 1

The All Black and the 30 Somethings played out a cracking 3-3 draw. A fair result was the verdict here as Cillian Hogan scored twice and was excellent for the All Blacks while Colm Dooley was best for the Somethings.

OS Naventages had too much class in their side for the Net Busters who were well off the pace on the night. Emanuel put in a fantastic display for the Portuguese lads and scored 4 times. Who would be brave enough to bet against OS to win the title now?

Eoin Sheehy was in top form as and helped Ex Pats to a narrow 4-3 over the Cow tippers. A touch of class from Tim O’Connor producing the winner for the Ex Pats.

Thursday Division 2

3 late goals from BNY made the scoreline look somewhat respectable as the

Boothouse Bingers raced into an early lead. Rob Bowen and Davis James were in good form for the Bingers.

The Bandits and Athletico PTF played out a cracking 2 all draw. Both defences were on top early on as the Bandits who were ahead twice in the hour could not hold on. A great header by Athletico’s Jan Oosterhof kept his side level at half time. Dave Creedon scored twice for the Bandits.

Thursday Division 3

The Flying Column got off to a flying start as Fabrice Fortune scored a great goal after only 30 seconds. This game turned out to be the game of the week as it went from end to end. The new hard work ethtic from the South City lads continued as they levelled the scores at 3-3. Ciaren Maguire was best for City. A fair result for both teams.

Apple Exiles had a big win over JT Specials. Ronan Geary’s goal being the game highlight as he flicked the ball over his and the defenders head and finished with a great volley to the back of the net. Liam Kileen scored both goals for Panicaikos as they beat Whitfords 2-0. A cracking first half free kick was all that divided these teams until the last minute when Whitfords conceded again. Tim Kramer was Panic’s best player.
