Racing Superb Against CUH

Wednesday Division 1

Racing Club produced their best performance of the season as they beat a strong CUH side 7-2. It was a tighter game than the scoreline suggests, but Racing seemed to want the points more from the kick off as they were the first to every ball. Racing defender Jason Lake who has improved so much as a player over the years in Footy was again in brilliant form and scored a wonderful individual solo effort in to equalise a Brian Crowley opener for CUH. Edward Noonan and Pedar Horgan in the Racing midfield never left this good footballing CUH side settle on the ball and pounced all the 50/50 balls. The very skilful Footy newcomer Jason Sexton was always a threat for CUH but Racing took their chances well and deserved the valuable 3 points.

Leaders CSKA Tongo also had a very valuable win as they beat the Booze Crew 6-3, to remain 2 points clear of Racing, who they have to play in the last game of the season. Philip Sweetman was back to his best, producing another master class in finishing, scoring 5 of their 6 goals, bring his total in 11 games to an incredible 29 goals.

Hit or Miss had a narrow win over Fritzl Palace. Seamus Daly did not deserve to be on the losing side was excellent for Palace and led their fight to comeback after falling 3 goals behind, with 2 of the goals being og’s.

Baggios overcame Glasgow Septic in another game that ended up being close after the Baggios led 5-0 at halftime. Ronan Sherman was man of the match for Baggios scoring once and setting up 2 others. Mark O Connor and Conor McArdle were on the mark for Septic with a brace each.

Wednesday Division 2

FC Coping threw a spanner in the works in this division as they beat leaders AC Standard who now occupy 2^nd spot. John O’Brien was the star man for Coping Badly once again scoring a hatrick, the first goal being the most important as it was just before the half time whistle. Bill Henry had made some excellent saves for Standard to keep the game tight, but the gaps appeared in their defence as they pushed for the equaliser and O’Brien capitalised for Coping.

Crystal Fallace beat Rosies 4-1 to go top for the first time this season and must now be favourites to win the title with 4 games left. Daniel Lynch was top man for Fallace who were missing the reliable defender Denis Cullinane through injury. Steve Kelly scored a brace for Fallace, while Colin Murphy scored for Rosies.

The Avengers won 2 games in a row, beating the Lemmons 5-3, jumping off the bottom on the table in the process. Joey Herrity and Dean Long were on the mark for this quickly improving Avengers side who are working hard in recent weeks, tracking back to defend when needed and thus improving their points tally.
