Anascaul Salvage A Point


Thursday Division 2
Red Bull Anascaul were two points clear of Panathieastcork at the top of the table entering this weeks matches, so a win against bottom team Men United was critical to maintain their position at the top. However the Anascaul lads played very poorly by their standards in the first half and found themselves trailing 3-0 at half time. Dan Gallagher kept his cool and rounded The Red Bull Keeper to score a terrific goal to put Men United one up after ten minutes. Not long later Steve Crowley scored with a superb header and just before half time Mick Ryan scored a rocket after receiving a great pass from Padraig O Riordan. Red Bull regrouped after half time and dominated the second half and when they equalised with ten minutes remaining it looked like they would eventually take the three points. However Men United held on for a draw.
The Sons Of Pitches, who still have title aspirations, took on The Whitfords this week. Cormac Crowley scored a great early goal for The Pitches after a great turn and shot into the corner. The score remained 1-0 until half time. Berie Bateman who is having a marvellous season for the Whitfords was always a handful and scored two goals in the second half to dent The Pitches’ title hopes.

Thursday Division 1
Go With The Flow conceded two bad early goals during their encounter with The Thirtysomethings which proved very costly as there were only two goals separating the sides in the end. Shane O Donoghue was outstanding for The Thirtys and scored a fine hat trick while Stuart Howard and Alan Moreland were terrific for Go With The Flow.
Steve Dwyer was the star man for Ezy in their match against Ex Pats Athletic. He scored six of his teams eight goals.

Wednesday Division 1
The Tools and Booze Crew tie lived up to expectations and produced lots of quality and skill ending in a 5-3 win for the Tools. Colin Hammond’s finishing  was superb with 2 late goals for the Tools. Kevin Murphy was also excellent in midfield for the Tools and made it 3-3 mid way through the 2nd half with an excellent strike.
Racing Club had Edward Noonan in their midfield and Fergal Lynch in defence in flying form, as they overcame the Chancers 3-1. Jason O Connell replied late on for the Chancers to make the scoreline more respectful.

Wednesday Division 2
The 6 man team of Novartis produced a battling but quality performance to beat Douglas Mortgage to finally put an end to their title chances. Pat Crotty was excellent and scored twice for Novartis. Hit and Miss stay in contention with a 6-2 win over Balaga Tonga. CUH did likewise and can still oust The Baggios as they play them in the final game next Wednesday where the winner will take the title. CUH are 3 points behind Baggios but a win will be enough to secure their 2nd footy title as they are ahead on the head to head having won 4-2 earlier in the season.
