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 .
