The Bailey and The Kids Stay on Course for Showdown


Wednesday Div 1
The Bailey narrowly overcame Racing Club to stay top and 3 points ahead of their rivals The Kids. An under strength Racing Club made them work hard for the points, but some poor goalkeeping gifted The Bailey with 2 of their 4 goals, but they did look like they could up it a gear if they had too. Stephen McCarthy and Stephen O'Donovan did well in midfield for the Bailey but Ben Ryan stood out in defence and found some lovely long range passes. Jurgen Buwoski scored a brace for Racing and always looked dangerous.
The Kids produced their best display of the season as they totally outclassed Crystal Phallus, playing some beautiful football in the process. Michael Doody and Oisin McGrath were in great for form the Kids and contributed 3 of their 8 goals. Colin Hammond brought his seasons tally to 21 goals with a hatrick. Again Darragh O'Regan was Phallus's best player and scored their only goal.
Game of the evening went to CUH and CSKA Tongo. CSKA coming out on top in a most entertaining game.Shane Fitzgerald got the man of the match and showed some excellent skill for CUH but was still on the losing side. Martin Dunlea and Joe Dempsey both scored twice for CSKA who were more clinical in front of goal.

Wednesday Division 2
Top of the Table clash between Sub Standard Liege and the Lemmons was as expected a tight game that could have gone either way with 5 minutes to go but the Lemmons pulled away to win 5-2, with 3 late goals. Alan Greaney was in tip top form and was too hot to handle for Liege. Bryan Lyons was also excellent for The Lemmons who are now level on points and goal difference with Liege with 4 games to go. Patrick Coleman tried hardest for Sub Standard who had James Mealy and Phil Wade on the scoresheet.
AC Standard continued their winning streak with their 4th win in a row with a 2-0 win over Rosies. One of Standards most consistent players this season Eamonn Kelleher was again on the scoresheet along with Tom Dempsey who got the man of the match. 
FC Coping Badly had a rather easy 9-2 win over AFC Tesco. John O'Brien (4), Robbie Doyle and Damien Murphy contributed the most to this one sided affair. 

Thursday Division 2
The top 2 teams the Dragons and the Net Busters are running away with this division after they both won again. Only Goal difference separates these 2 sides, who are both well organised and its hard to pick a winner here at this stage. The Dragons dispatched O'Higgins FC in horrendous conditions last Thursday evening while The Net Busters beat the Jager Bombers on Monday night, after most of last Thursdays fixtures were called off due to the bad weather. Tim Crowley was brilliant in defence for the Net Busters and was first to every loose ball and had his defence well organised. This organisation was sadly lacking in the Bombers side who leaked some poor goals after poor defensive mistakes. Paul Sexton and Dave McCarthy capitalised the most and both scored 3 a piece for the Busters. 
The Dragons had too much pace in their side for O'Higgins FC and stayed more focused in the dreadful conditions to see out a 4-0 win. Rory Walsh was best for the Dragons who also had Donal Flanagan in good form in goal. The Dragons and the Net Busters go head to head on the 4th of April in a game that is sure to decide the destination of the Division 2 trophy
