CUH Win Top Of Table Clash


Wednesday Division 2
Old rivals and joint table toppers CUH and douglasmortgage.ie faced off in what could be the decisive match of the campaign. Both teams had numerous chances but it was CUH who converted. Ivan Weir scored two superb goals for CUH and when Denis Mahony scored a third it looked like the fixture was decided. However two late goals by Erik Cotter gave Douglas some hope entering the final five minutes, but CUH held out for a deserved win. This win puts CUH firmly in the driving seat entering the final few matches.
The Nualight, Balaga Tongo match was deadlocked at 0-0 at half time. However the second half was a much livelier affair. Bernard Ahern of Nualight scored two fine goals as did Dave Doyle for Balaga. It was looking like the final result would be a 4-4 draw until Kieran Buckley scored a dramatic last minute winner for Nualight.
Joe Herrity was the man of the match in The Avengers, Novartis encounter, however his team lost 5-2. Roy McCarthy and Erik Lynch were among the scorers for Novartis while Herrity and Conor long scored for The Avengers.

Wednesday Division 3
The Average Joes started their top of the table clash with Substandard Liege in spectacular fashion when they scored an excellent goal by Erik Montgomery after two minutes. The Joes were completely on top in the first half. Montgomery was a threat every time he got the ball and Joe O Sullivan was outstanding in defence. They were worth their 4-0 lead entering the final 20 minutes. However slowly but surly Substandard began to get a grip on the match and with five minutes remaining there was only a single goal separating the sides. In the closing minutes both the goal frame and a heroic keeper came to The Joes aid as they just held on to win 4-3.
The Dynamo Tonduff, FC Coping Badly match was a thriller. The score was 4-3 in favour of Coping as the final whistle approached. However Dave murphy finished off a man of the match performance and a hat trick for Tonduff by scoring the equaliser in the last minute. John O Brien scored twice for coping.
John Mangan was outstanding for Crystal Fallice in their match against Real Sosobad and contributed 2 marvellous goals to his sides 3-0 win. 

Wednesday Division 1
The top of the table encounter between The Booze Crew and The Cuban Priests was expected to be a thriller and it didn’t disappoint. This was a high tempo match with both teams attacking at every opportunity. The score was tied at 3-3 with three minutes to go when Mark Murphy outjumped the Booze Crew goal keeper to give his team a 4-3 lead with a sensational header. However The Priests joy was very short lived as The Booze  Crews Ian Stapleton equalised with a super strike right at the end of the match. A draw was a fair result and keeps both teams in contention.
