O'Sullivan Inspires Joes

Wednesday Div 4

The Average Joes gave their best performance of the season when they beat the Inbetweeners 5-3 having come back from being 2 nil down. Joe O’Sullivan was in inspiring form as he played in goal in the first half and produced some outstanding saves that kept the Joe’s in the game. He then switched to centre forward for the 2^nd half and scored 4 times. The experienced John O Donovan was also in excellent form for the Joe’s.

Fritzl Palace lost some ground at the top of the table as they also went down to a 5-3 scoreline to the ever improving Sub Standard Liege. Philip Wade was in brilliant form for Liege who are making improvements in defence as the weeks go by, which has now put them into 3^rd place and 4 points of the leaders Palace.

2^nd placed Rosies continued their good season as they outplayed Crystal Fallace and now look forward to their clash with Palace next week. A tie which could decide where the title ends up.

Wednesday Div 3

Colin Gurhy sealed the division 3 title for M&P O’Sullivans for their 2^nd title in a row with a late strike to win a close contest against FC Coping Badly. O’Sullivans showed true grit as they played most of the 2^nd half with only 6 players after a red card. Gavin Ahern was man of the match and was excellent for O’Sullivans when they went a man down. The dependable Jay Nixon was again among the goals and scored a brace. Stuart DePuis also scored twice for Coping Badly.

2^nd placed Dynamo Tonduff and bottom of the table Kurtz Wallopers played out an entertaining 3-3 draw. A beautiful late strike from James Harding gave the Wallopers a deserved share of the spoils. Dave Murphy was again excellent for Tonduff.

Liam Hennessy was star man for the Baggios as he scored 4 times and helped seal the points against Real Soso Bad, who were a little unlucky to lose this pulsating tie despite an excellent performance from Stephen O’Riordain. This game was 0-0 at half time and then defences opened in the 2^nd half as teams got tired. Baggios scoring 5 of the 8, 2^nd half goals.

Wednesday Div 2

The Cuban Priests all but sealed division 2, with an impressive display against Nualight. This high scoring game produced some tremendous finishing, especially from the Priests Llyod Dorgan in the first half. However Nualight gave an excellent 2^nd half display to make the scoreline more respectable.

The Priests who have been by far the best team all season now only need a point to seal the title against CUH on Wednesday.

CUH beat a weakened Douglas Mortage side 5-1. Ivan Weir with a hatrick for the Wilton Boys who had Anthony O’Brien in brilliant form.

Wednesday Div 1

Korona also took a giant step towards division 1 champions once again as they dispatched Far From Athletic rather easily after a tight first half. FFA were quickest out of the blocks as they raced into a 3-1 lead. Wayne O Callaghan with 2 excellent early goals. However Far From had no answer to the powerful Croatian centre forward Romis Ibisi who was central to the Koronas comeback who scored 5 times.

The Tools who moved into 2^nd spot, were also impressive as they beat the Celts 7-2. Eoghan Murphy and Colin Hammond were best for the Tools who gave an excellent all around team performance and kept the ball from their opponents for long periods of the game.
