Column Win Battle of Barricka

The Flying Column won the bragging rights in Tom Barry’s pub in Barrack street for the next few months as they beat their fellow drinking buddies the B69ers 3-1. Both teams showed great determination from the start, with the 69ers having most of the possession early on but unable to capitalise on this as they struggled to create an opening the Column defence who lay deep in their own half. French man Fabrice Fortune scored with 2 beauties for the Column and Conor O’Mahony added a third as the Niners chased the game.

Whitfords stay top, 3 points ahead of the Flying Column, after their win over the Specials. Sam Russell and Kevin O Connell were best for Whitfords who are using all their experience, closing in on their first Footy Title.

Cormac Crowley showed some slick finishing as he hit a hatrick for the Sons of Pitches who had a 4-1 win over Men Utd.

Thursday Div 2

The Apple Exiles remain top of the pile as they had an easy  4-1 win over Cordal Rovers. Phelim Barry was best for Apple who stay 3 points ahead of the Net Busters who had a walkover. This league may come down to the last game of the season when the Net Busters take on the Exiles.

Brian Fleming was most impressive for Athletico PTF as the dispatched the Bandits 5-1. Fleming with a very credible 4 goal tally on the night.

Thursday Div 1

Jake McAuliffe scored an impressive hatrick for the 30 Somethings as they beat EZY FC 3-2 in a hard fought game. With the score tied at 2-2 for much of the game McAuliffe struck with a well taken goal to push the Somethings closer to clinching the title. They now only need to win one of their last four games to seal division 1. Steve Dwyer and Dave Johnson tried hardest for EZY but the all round team work of the Somethings helped them to take the points, and add to their impressive record that now reads 10 wins and only 1 loss.

2^nd placed Sporting CPL lost ground on the leaders as they also lost 3-2 to the Ex Pats. The Pats struck with a last minute effort to break CPL hearts as they chased the points to try to keep up with the Somethings. Tim O Connor again proved to be the Pats most valuable player on the night.

Known Quantities continued their good form of late and sealed their 4^th win in the last five games with a big win over the All Blacks. Zoltan scored with a cracking low drive for the pick of the goals for the Knowns as they also had Edward Noonan and Padraig McGovern in top form.
