CSKA Return To Winning Ways

Wednesday Div 1

        Glasgow Septic and CUH played out a highly entertaining game that ended in a 2-2 draw. Conor McArdle scored with a last gasp equaliser for Septic only seconds after Rory Barry scored with a cracking drive from a tight angle for CUH. This seemed like a winner for CUH, but Septic drove on to the final whistle to be rewarded with a deserved point from McArdle’s goal.

      CSKA Tongo were back to winning ways after they beat Fritzl Palace 7-4, but were made to work hard for the win by an industrious Palace side driven on by Mike Wren. Palace who were 5-1 down at one stage in the game never gave up and brought it back to 5-4 with a hatrick by Dan Gallagher. But Joe Dempsey came up with late goals for Tongo to seal the points as Palace pushed forward for the equaliser.

       Hit or Miss were in excellent form showing some excellent teamwork and hard work when they did not have the ball, as they beat Racing 7-3. Fiachra O’Driscoll and Podge Butler were their main men on the night and both players scored a brace each. Paul Richardson was also excellent in midfield for the winners. Peadar Horgan and Jason Lake were best for Racing.

       The impressive Barry Clinton helped the Booze Crew overcome the Baggios 4-2, scoring twice in the process. His second goal was a memorable one, as he volleyed home a clearance from his own goalkeeper. Darragh & Patrick O’Regan always looked dangerous for the Baggios, but the more experienced and polished Booze Crew held out for a win and they may yet have a say in where the title goes.

Wednesday Div 2

Crystal Fallace kept the pressure on league leaders Ac Standard as they outclassed FC Coping Badly. Con Creedon and Pat Regan scored a brace each for Fallace. Both of Regan’s goals were top drawer strikes, both being clinical volleys.

Meanwhile AC Standard hammered The Avengers and stay 4 points clear of  2^nd placed Fallace. Eamonn Kelleher was most impressive for Standard as he scored 4 quality goals and was easily the best player on show in this one sided fixture.

Brian Beale scored an excellent hatrick for Rosies to win a close game that finished 3-2 against the Lemmons. Beale’s 2^nd goal was an absolute peach, as he made a great run and played a neat one two before finishing to break the Lemmons rearguard. The Lemmons were a little unlucky to be on the losing side Shane Brown and Trevor O’Connell were on the scoresheet for the losers.
