Slick Trotters Off To Perfect Start

Footy Report Wednesday 22^nd May

Wed Div 1

Trotters Traders lead the way after 2 games of the Summer Footy Season with 2 wins out of 2. They demolished the Thirty Somethings on week 1 and then ground out an excellent 3-1 win over a strong Booze Crew side on week 2. A late Eoin Stephens goal sealed the points as the Booze Crew pushed forward in search of an equaliser only to be caught on the counter by the Traders. This Slick Traders side push the ball around well and it will take a good side to finish above come mid August.

The Sleazy Lemmons up from Division 2 are more than holding their own with two wins out of two also and are behing the Trotters on goal difference.

ABCDE FC who hail from Cobh drew 4-4 with the Thirty Somethings in a classic footy affair. This game was end to end, with a draw being a fair result. Both keepers were the best players on the pitch but Niall Kerrigan shaded the man of the match with some excellent late saves that secured a point for the Somethings.

CSKA Tongo had too much in the tank for Racing Club with Philip Cotter Joe Dempsey and John Crean in top form and if they can keep a settled side, they should find themselves at the right end of the table come August.

Wed Div 2

Sliabh na mBan and Fritzl Palace both got off to good starts with 2 wins out of 2.

Na mBan had 2 comprehensive victories over Footy newcomers Bayern Neverlosin and Douglas Mortgage and look like early season favourites. They have an experienced team with the industrious John Browne and the very skilful Paul Tierney running their midfield.

Fritzl Palace who have a few changes to their side for the Summer are also looking good and will push them all the way. They had an excellent 6-3 win over the Duffers, with Pat Crotty and Phil Canty in excellent form.

Dynamo Tonduff and FC Coping Badly drew out a really tough game, 1-1 being the half time score, but with with both defences on top in the 2^nd half no scores were added.

Bayer Neverlosin have a few decent players, will take a few weeks to settle before they should pick up a few points. The Duffers have also improved their side this Summer and should test a lot of teams in this division.

Douglas Mortgage and AC Standard drew 6-6 in a brillant game, easily the best game on week one. These sides are experienced Footy Campaigners and should be challenging for honours also.
