Thirtysomethings Looking Good

Thursday Division 1

The 30 Somethings top the table as they made it 3 wins out of 3 with a good win over the Ex Pats. This division should prove to be tight with all teams capable of beating each other on a good day. CPL who are newly promoted look like they will be able to hold their own as they also had a good 9-6 win over the Known Quantities. Rory Walsh, Sean and Alan Jordan were excellent for CPL and were among the goals in a very open high scoring affair. Peter Fitzmaurice was best for the Knowns and hit a hatrick.

Luca and Mark Murphy scored 2 excellent goals for the 30 Somethings as they won 4-2 in a much tighter game against the Pats.

Kevin Garde was in top form for EZY FC who produced an excellent team performance to win out 7-5 against the All Blacks. Robbie Healy and Niall Murphy did best for the All Blacks.

Thursday Division 2

The Net Busters were a bit too strong for Cordal Rovers and came out on top by 5-1. Tim Crowley scored a brace for the Busters and they top the table after 3 games and if they can tighten their defence they could go all the way to their first Footy league title. Apple who are newly promoted from Division 3 have also made an excellent start and they beat PTF who were well below par on the night. Mark Ryan looks more comfortable in this division and scored an excellent hatrick for Apple.

The Barrack Rats and the Bandits produced the best game of the night and shared 6 goals. The 2 best goals were saved till last as James Fitzgerald scored a rocket from long range for the Rats and Dave Creedon produced an excellent piece of skill to score with a backheel for the Bandits.

Thursday Division 3

The Sons of Pitches and the Flying Column played out a very close and hard fought encounter. The Column who were 2 up at the break coming out on top. An early own goal by the Pitches was crucial to the tie. Cormac Crowley scored for the Pitches in the 2^nd half to make it tense until the final whistle but the Column held out. Kieran McCarthy was man of the match and scored the Column’s 2nd goal.

The experienced Jack Russell produced a man of the match display and scored a brace for Whitfords who easily dispatched Panicakios 5-0. The Whitfords surprisingly find themselves top of this pile after 3 weeks with 7 points. JT Specials who are in 2^nd spot are also playing excellent and find themselves in new territory towards the right end of the table. They beat South City 2-1. The returning John McCarthy was best for the Specials and should strengthen their team. The dependable Rob Carpenter scored their first goal. Ciaren Maguire scored for the City lads before being carried off with a serious injury. We wish him a speedy recovery!
