Cuban Priests, Tools Thriller Ends In Draw


Wednesday Div 1
The Tools and the Cuban Priests played out one of the hardest fought games in recent Footy history and it ended all square, a fair 1-1 draw.
Both teams played at a very high intensity and there was some quality football by both sides. Defender Ross Flood was best for the Priests and his ability to read the game got his side out of trouble on a few occasions. He also popped up with the equalising goal with a well struck free kick to cancel out Michael Doody’s first half opener for the Tools.
This draw was the result that the Booze Crew were looking for as they earlier had lost out on the chance to go top of the table after a surprise loss to Racing Club. However with 3 games to go, and the Priests leading by 2 points, any one of these 3 sides could win it.
James O’Sullivan scored a hatrick for Racing as they produced their best performance of the season to beat an under strength Booze Crew side.

Wednesday Div 2
Novartis played the best they played all season and had an excellent 3-1 win, coming from behind to beat CUH. The Wilton lads might regret this defeat, as they are only 2 point behind the Baggios and must still play them in the last game of the season. Ronan Cullinane was brilliant for Novartis and scored 2 cracking goals.
Douglas Mortgage took all 3 points, as expected over the struggling Avengers. Eric Cotter was again amongst the goals for Douglas. The leaders, the Baggios had another good win to stay top of the pile, beating Balaga Tonga 7-4. The game highlight was a great goal from Baggios keeper Daniel Lynch who scored from his own area with a beautifully struck chip.

Wednesday Div 3
The tie between Reardons and Real Soso Bad was a close affair, finishing 5-4 to Reardons. Despite a brilliant solo effort from Stephen O’Riordain for Real, Reardons had just about enough in the tank to hold off Real after a double from both Philip Sweetman and Tom Long.
 The Average Joes had to use all their experience in beating Dynamo Tonduff. The scoring machine that is Eric Montgomery, was again used to good effect, scoring twice and proved the difference between the sides.
Lennons Lemmons also play their best football of the season to beat a strong Crystal Fallace side 4-2. A hatrick and a superb display by well known Hockey player Andrew Daunt saw off Fallace. Perhaps he should consider switching to soccer after some of his recent high quality performances at Footy.
Sub Standard Liege had a hard earned 4-3 win over FC Coping Badly. They were 2-1 up at half time only to concede twice and looked like losing only to battle hard in the last 10 minutes and earn all 3 points. John O Brien was best for Coping Badly while Kevin Heelin and Pat Coleman were on form for Liege
