McCarthy Wins It For The Specials

Thursday Div 2

Donal McCarthy struck his first ever Footy goal for the JT Specials with just 2 minutes left on the clock to complete a magnificent comeback against Men Utd. United who were winning 2-0 at halftime through 2 Joe McCarthy goals were looking comfortable until Stephen Riordain brought the Specials back into the game with a very well taken volley from a very tight angle. Riordain struck again to make it 2-2 before McCarthy scored with a low drive into the bottom corner to seal a great win.

The Garcia brothers were central to the Sons of Pitches 4-2 over Athletico PTF. Jose Garcia scored twice for the Pitches and his brother Diego was also on the scoresheet. Ken O’Connor tried hardest for his side but his man of the match performance was not enough for Athletico.

Dylan O Brien gave a master class in attacking play and finishing as Panatheastcork comprehensively beat Whitfords. O’Brien scored 5 times in a 9-1 drubbing.

Panatheastcork were too quick for Whitfords and had the youth very much on their side.

Big Test Iciles and Red Bull Anascaul drew 2-2 in an excellent hard fought game. A brace from Scott Stanley for Iciles earning his side a well deserved draw. His equalising goal was a great shot from 12 yards

Thursday Div 1

The All Blacks went top of this division with a well deserved 4-1 over the Ex-Pats. Ezy FC and Thirtysomethings drew 2-2 which suited the All Blacks. Expect a few twists and turns in this league yet with all 5 top teams capable of beating each other.

The ThirthySomethings were 2 nil up through goals from Luca and Killian Deasy,

and with their experience should have seen this one out. But 2 well taken goals by Andrew Daunt were the highlight in a great 2^nd half comeback by Ezy FC.

Rob Healy excellent centre forward play had a big role to play for the All Blacks as they overcame the Ex Pats. Niall Murphy was also excellent for the winners and if they can hold this side together could secure their first Footy title.

Go with the Flow had a walkover against the Hooligans, but the Flow did play a friendly against Wednesday Division 1 leaders Booze Crew. The Crew were too strong in a rather one sided affair where Connor Meade and Ian Stapelton were best for the Crew.
