Thursday Division 1
Last seasons champions
the All Blacks had a great result as they beat league leaders Ezy FC 3-2 and
cut their lead at the top of the table to just 3 points. 2 decisive goals from
Killian Hogan did the trick for the All Blacks in a very tight and hard fought
game.
Steve Dwyer and Billy
Lyons were Ezy’s goal scorers.
Apple Exiles continued
their impressive improvement as they had a marvellous win over the
Thirtysomethings. Apple who were 2 goals down inside the first minute, did
really well to come back and win 4-2. The comeback led by the experienced Ronan
Geary who scored the equaliser for Apple who had Gary Murphy and Terry Ryan
also on target.
John Browne was top
class in defence for Sliabh na mBan as they ousted the Boothouse Bingers by 7
goals to 3. The pick of the goals was a 20 yard volley from Joe McAuliffe, who
was also Man of the Match. The Bingers would have been favourites over Sliabh
na mBan, going into this game as they were 7 points clear of them, but na mBan have been finding some consistency
of late and used their experience to great effect over the less organised
Bingers.
Quintan Gambora made
some top class saves in goal for the Bandits, but was only able to help his
side to keep the scoreline respectable as they lost 3-1 to the Net Busters. Tim
Crowley was impressive for The Net Busters as was Paul Sexton who has a great
eye for a goal and was always a threat to the Bandits defence.
Thursday Division 2
It was a similar story
in the game between O’Higgins FC and Panathieastcork, as Jimmy Hallihan was in
tremendous form for the East Cork lads and
made a succession of excellent saves to keep his side in with a chance until
the final whistle. Sean O Neill was again O’Higgins’s best player and scored
their 2 goals in a narrow 2-1 win that moves them into 2nd spot.
Men Utd had their 3rd
win of the season and moved up to 5th spot as they beat the JT
Specials 4-2. Hungarian newcomer Zoltan was Men Utd’s
best player and set up 2 of their goals. The evergreen Mick Ryan hit the net
twice for United, who came from behind to and early Rob Carpenter strike for
JT.
Ciaren McArtain was
again the Flying Column’s top player as the beat Whitfords 2-0, scoring a
brilliant free kick to set the Column on their way. Whitfords worked hard
throughout but lacked penetration. The Column defence was well marshalled by
Conor O’Mahony.
Meanwhile the Sons of
Pitches stay in pole position, 4 points clear after a 2-0 win over Balaga Tonga . James
McLaughlin scored a memorable goal for the Pitches, in an otherwise forgettable
game.
