Wednesday division 1
The Chancers pulled off the shock of the week when they
defeated The Tools in an outstanding encounter. With fifteen minutes remaining
The Chancers were winning 3-1, having scored three very well taken goals
through David Daly (2) and Damien O Leary. However The Tools dominated the
second half and when Oisin McGrath scored two late goals it looked like The
Chancers chance was gone. With time almost up The Tools were pressing hard for
the winner but on a brilliantly executed counter attack Kevin Wilmot scored for
The Chancers to give his team an unexpected but well deserved win.
The encounter between the unbeaten Cuban Priests and the
star studded Booze Crew promised to be a fascinating contest. Early on it
looked like The Booze Crew would run riot. They scored two fantastic early
goals through Martin Deady and Ian Stapleton. However The Priests steadied the
ship and pulled one back before half time when Ben Ryan scored a great team
goal. The score remained 2-1 until the final 10 minutes when the relentless Booze
Crew pressure finally paid off. The final score was 6-1 in favour of The Cobh
lads.
Charlie Quinn was in top form in goals for Racing during
their match against Far from Athletic. He made some outstanding saves but unfortunately
he couldn’t prevent his team from loosing 4-3 to a very lively and fast Far
From. The first half was quite even as Mark Menton and Conor O Regan of Racing swapped
goals with Aaron Atkinson and Brian O Regan. The second half was dominated by
Far From who would have won by more if it wasn’t for the exploits of Charlie
Quinn in goal.
Wednesday division 2
Adrian Field was the hero for Nualight when he scored a last
minute equaliser for his team against Hit Or Miss. It looked like Ken Fogartys
goal would seal the win for Hit Or Miss but Fields final ditch effort scuppered
their celebrations. Kieran Buckley and Liam Ahern were also on the mark for
Nualight.
The Average Joes performed a Houdini act when they came back
from the dead to tie with Dynamo Tonduff. The Mayfield lads were loosing 3-0 at
half time but three second half goals, the third of which was scored in the
last minute, by Ernest Fagurska and Wojtec earned the Joes a point.
The Balaga Tongo, Baggios match was in effect a shoot out
between Pat O Regan of The Baggios who scored four goals and Philip Sweetman of
Balaga Tongo who scored five. It was a ding dong affair which Balaga just about
shaded on a 6-5 score line.
Wednesday division 3
Division leaders Substandard Liege entered their match
against FC Coping Badly unbeaten. However it was Coping Badly who emerged from
the encounter with the points. The fixture was tied at four a piece with ten
minutes remaining. However Coping Badly scored two in the last few minutes to
end The Substandard run of wins. Bernard Parks and Rob Dwyer scored two each
for Coping Badly while James mealy scored a brace for Substandard.
Lennons Lemons and Crystal Falice served up a cracker of a
match during which both sides scored some spectacular goals. Con Creedon and
Bryan Cahill scored two beauties for Falice while Pierce Warren and Bryan
Cahill returned the favour for The Lemons. When the score was tied at 3-3 late
in the match it was Justin Banks who notched the winner for the Lemons to give
the Carrigaline lads a 4-3 win.
