Wednesday Division 1
The eagerly anticipated showdown between The Kids and The Bailey did not disappoint and was a very high tempo game played with huge intensity by both teams. The Kids needed to win as they were a point behind the Bailey with only 2 games left and both teams expecting to win their remaining games. This was perhaps the difference between the 2 sides as The Kids seemed to want it more and they never left The Bailey settle on the ball. Oisin McGrath was exellent for the Kids at centre forward and held up the ball very well and contributed with 2 goals. Ronan Sherman gave hope to the Bailey who upped their game in the 2nd half. But Colin Hammond's excellent finish provided his sides third goal to seal 3 very important points.
Sliabh na mBan and CUH played out an very entertaining 3-3 draw. Joe McAulliffe scored na mBan deserved equaliser and he was his sides best player on the night. Cathal O'Sullivan scored a brace for CUH and Shane Fitzgerald also gave an excellent performance in midfield for the Wilton Boys.
Edward Noonan was brilliant for Racing Club as they overcame Chrystal Phallus 7-3. Noonan seemed to be everywhere, making numerous interceptions and driving his side into attack. MVP nominnee Jurgen Buwoski scored 4 times for Racing, the first one being a tremendous volley after only 2 minutes. Fellow MVP nominee Darragh O'Regan was again Phallus's best player and again scored a hatrick.
Wednesday Division 2
With 2 games left this division looks like it will be down to the wire as the 4 main contenders all had good wins to keep their respective title hope alive. Sub Standard Liege who won a very tight game with Rosies and gained 3 vital points to stay top. Lemmons brought AC Standards winning streak to and end and FC Coping Badly left it very late to beat the Duffers, depending on a last minute free kick by John O'Brien to keep in the chasing pack. The very organised Fritzl Palace also stayed in the hunt with a win over bottom placed AFC Tesco.
Sub Standard Liege got off to a slow start against a Rosies outfit that seemed really up for the challange of playing the league leaders. Gus Bowen was excellent for Rosies and scored a brace to put them into a 3-1 lead. Pat Coleman and Kevin Heelan both also scored twice for Liege who improved in the 2nd half to clinch the points. Their last game of the season with Coping Badly looks like it will be huge game with the 2nd placed Lemmons waiting in the wings hoping for a draw. Alan Greaney showed all his qualities in his performance for The Lemmons scoring 3 times in their 6-3 win over AC.
Seamus Daly was brilliant for Palace and ran the game from a deep midfield position against Tesco. Tesco have some very skilful players in their side and showed some neat passing moves but poor finishing left them down, and Palace won comfortably 5-2 in the end with late Dan Twomey and Joe Culloty goals.
Thursday Division 2
Top of the table clash between the Net Busters and the Dragons was another excellent game, with the Net Busters winning a tight battle 7-5. Two outstanding indiviudal performances was difference between these two teams. The clinical finishing of Paul Sexton was most impressive as he scored an incredible 5 times and he was too hot for the Dragons defence. Conor McDowell was brilliant in goal for the Net Busters and made some oustanding saves to keep the Dragons at bay. Shaun Jordan and Rory Walsh were best for the Dragons and tried really hard but they were always chasing the game having gone behind to 2 early goals.
