Thursday Division 1
The top
of the table clash between the All Black and The Thirtysomethings started at a
blistering pace. Within a couple of minutes Niall Murphy bagged a goal for the
Blacks before Luka responded for the Thirtysomethings. Both teams had numerous chances but it was
the Thirties who converted and with twenty minutes remaining they were in
control with a 3-1 lead. However when Vinnie Motherway scored a splendid second
for the Blacks the momentum was with the Rochestown men. In spite of dominating
for the last ten minutes the Blacks couldn’t break down the Thirties defence
and ended up on the wrong side of the 3-2 score line.
The Ezy,
Go With The Flow encounter was a match of two halves. The first half was an
even affair with few but equal opportunities for both sides. Steve Dwyer broke
the deadlock after 20 minutes for EZY with a well taken goal but this is all
that separated the sides at half time. The second half was dominated by EZY who
scored four more goals and went on to win 5-0.
Thursday Division 2
The Whitfords,
Big Test Icles match was a very close, hard fought even encounter played in a
very sporting manner. It was the Whitfords who scored first when Jesper
Pederson scored a super goal. However Vincent Twomey scored an unforgettable
goal to equalise with a tremendous strike right into the top corner. With time
running out it was the Whitfords who were pressing for a winner but against the
run of play Scott Stanley scored for Big Test to give his team their most
impressive result so far and to knock The Whitfords off of their perch on the
top of the table.
Two other
title contenders squared off when Panathieastcork took on Red Bull Anascaul.
Both defences dominated through out with neither side creating many opportunities,
The sides were deadlocked at 0-0 at half time. It was Mark Moynihan who scored
the only goal of the contest to earn a precious three points for his side and
move them to the top of the table,
Ken O
Connor was outstanding for Athletico PTF in their clash with Men United. This
was another hard fought match during which the skill and speed of O Connor was
the difference between the sides. Adrian Noonan gave the men from Friars Walk
an early lead with a well taken goal.
Some great feats of goal keeping by Nick Duff in combination with the cross
bar kept Men United in the hunt. However a super goal by Jan Ostadoff on the
stroke of half time earned Athletico a 2-0 lead. Neither team scored in the
second half so the final score was 2-0 in favour of Athletico.
