CSKA And Racing To Face Off In Winner Take All

Wednesday Div 1

CSKA Tongo and Racing both completed good wins to stay top of the pile and now their eagerly awaited last game of the season awaits, where whoever wins will take the title. CSKA are 2 points clear so a draw will do them to seal it. Racing will go into the clash as  slight underdogs but will take great confidence from an excellent 5-0 win over a decent Baggios side. Edward Noonan and Pedar Horgan were excellent for Racing as they have been all season and were Racing’s scorers, Noonan with a hatrick and Horgan with a brace, both being beautiful goals.

A strong CSKA squad beat an under strength Hit or Miss side 6-3 to stay on course. John Duggan was brilliant in defence for the league leaders who put in an excellent all round footballing display. Joe Dempsey (2), O’Malley, Ross, Sweetman and Cotter were the CSKA scorers. Phil Wade scored the goal of the evening with a bullet header for Hit or Miss for the games highlight.

CUH maintained 3^rd spot with a 6-4 win over Glasgow Septic and then beat Hit or Miss 4-2 in Mondays make up game after the cancelled fixture 2 weeks ago due to a frozen pitch.

Rory Barry was in fine form for CUH scoring twice in both games. Denis O Mahony was also in top form for CUH, pulling the strings in their midfield. Shane Fitzgerald scored a memorable goal, a volley direct from a throw in the Septic fixture.

Wednesday Division 2

Crystal Fallace stayed on course for their first Footy title with an excellent win over the quickly improving Avengers. Darragh O’Regan was brightest for Fallace scoring twice in a man of the match display. This fixture would have been a comfortable win for Fallace earlier in the season but Dean Long and Joey Herrity have organised the Avengers well of late and they are not a push over any longer.

AC Standard beat the Lemmons 3-1 to stay in 2^nd spot and still in with a chance of honours going into the final 2 weeks of this division. Bill Henry was again in excellent form for AC in goal, but Standard’s best player was Cian O Mahony who was excellent in defence and scored with a tremendous drive for their 3^rd goal to seal the points. James Hardy was the Lemmons lone scorer.

Rosies and FC Coping Badly played out an exciting 3-3 draw. The experienced finisher Kieran Hurley scoring twice for Rosies to put them 3-1 ahead, but Coping Badly

battled back with John O’Brien in superb form, scoring with 2 minutes to go and then Alan Murphy scored with a last gasp equaliser for a deserved share of the spoils.
