Kinsella Leads Oxford To Top of Table

Thursday Division 1
Joe Kinsella inspired Oxford International with a superb performance in their midfield as they beat The Kids 5-1 in last weeks top of the table clash. It was The Kids heaviest defeat in their Footy history, in a game where they got a lesson from Oxford who were excellent in defence and more direct in their approach. Conor Hawes was again a handful at centre forward for the Kids rearguard, and scored a brace as did the very impressive Kinsella.
Joga Bonito overcame the Red Shirts 3-2 in a tight battle, and just about deserved their win. Man of the match Des Mallon pulled all the strings for Joga Bonito. Daniel Freitas, Tony O'Connor and Gary O'Connell were on the mark for the winners while Owen Shaughnessy and Jack O Connor were The Red Shirts scorers.
Ezy Fc ran out easy winners over Los Pistoleros, winning by a very comfortably 7-0 scoreline. John Daly was best for Ezy who also had Dave Johnson and Peter Fitzmaurice in top form. This game looked like it might be tight as the first 10 minutes were very even, but the Los Pistoleros heads dropped after conceding 2 quick goals from which they never recovered.

Thursday Division 2
Gavin O Driscoll scored a hatrick for the Chancers as they beat the inconsistent Dragons 7-3.
Fiachra O Driscoll and Rory Walsh tried hardest for the Dragons, but were always 2nd best to Joe Harte and O'Driscoll in midfield for the Chancers.
Boca Seniors got back to winning ways and stay 1 point clear of The Chancers at the top of the table, after a hard fought 4-2 win over Unreal Madrid. Richard Hyde with a hatrick was the Seniors star man on the night and showed some excellent skill along with the impressive Paul Tierney in Midfield. Ronan Sherman scored twice for Madrid but they missed some good chances early in the game which cost them dearly in the end.
Mount Oval had a good 2-1 win over a battling JT Specials outfit. Cathal Younun scored twice for Oval, with a goal in each half. Sean O Neill and Dan Hegarty did best for the Specials and were always a threat to the Mount Oval defence, especially as they pushed for the equaliser, but Mount Oval boys held on for a much needed win.

Thursday Division 3
The Sons of Pitches took full advantage of league leaders Balaga Tonga losing and went back to the top of the table with a very convincing win over the Lemmons. Con Kearney with a hatrick and Eoin Barrett were too hot to handle for the Lemmons defense as the Pitches cruised to victory. Substitute Cormac Crowley scored with his first touch for the Pitches who were well in command being 7-0 up at half time. However Justin Banks and Brian Cahill worked hard in the 2nd half for the Lemmons thus making it a much closer game in the 2nd period.
The improving Nobodys won their 2nd game on the bounce after 3 defeats in their first 3 games. Their 4-3 victory was hard fought over Balaga Tonga. Johnny Byrne scoring an impressive 4 times for the Nobodys who jumped a couple of places with these 3 valuable points. Byrne's winning goal was a bit special as he rounded 2 defenders before finishing with a powerful shot. Colin Irwin made some excellent saves for the Nobodys as Balaga pushed for an equaliser in the last 5 minutes. Peter Sinnott and Ryan Palmer defended well for the Nobodys. Eoin Kennedy was best for Tonga who suffered their first defeat of the season after 4 straight wins.
Whitfords and Men Utd played out the game of the week after a highly entertaining 5-5 draw.
John Barry equalising for the Whitfords in the last minute for a deserving share of the spoils.
Jason Lake and Eddie Noonan (2)were best for Men Utd who will look at this fixture as 2 points lost points as they threw away a 2 goal lead in the last few minutes.
