New Heights For Balaga Tongo Boys

Thursday Division 3
Last Seasons whipping boys Balaga Tongo find themselves joint top of division 3 after 3 weeks of games. They have secured 9 points out of 9 with 3 excellent wins and are only behind the Sons of Pitches on goal difference, who have also made an excellent start and look determined to atone for narrowly missing out on the title for the last 2 seasons.
Balaga had Josh King and Eoghan Kennedy in superb form last week in their 4-2 win over Whitfords. An excellent goal, a volley from 15 yards by Kennedy was the games highlight, but Balaga seemed to have learned from their time spent at the bottom of the table in the last few seasons and have tightened up their defence this Summer.
Sons of Pitches are early season favourites after their excellent start, and have Michael Deasy and Colin Keane in great form. Alan O Sullivan scored a hatrick for them last week in their dismantling of Men Utd. The Lemmons were being out played by the Nobodys in a first half that ended 0-0. But a beautiful taken goal by Brian Cahill mid way through the 2nd half opened the floodgates for the Lemmons who went on to win easily. Justin Banks also played well for the Lemmons while the Sinnott brothers Peter and Steve tried hardest for the Nobodys.

Thursday Division 2
The Alan Jordan Memorial Cup”
The Boca Seniors have set the early pace in this division with 2 wins and a draw from 3 games. Closely followed by Unreal Madrid who are a point behind. These 2 sides look like the best 2 teams at the moment, but the Dragons are not far behind and should be there or there abouts come the business end of the season. Omer Mercier dominated the midfield for Unreal Madrid in their 4-0 over the Chancers, with Ronan Sherman showing his prowess in front of goal with 2 superbly taken goals.
John Browne was Bocas Seniors most influential player as they beat Mount Oval 3-1. The Oval side are lacking consistency in their line up which is affecting their rhythm and find themselves at the bottom of the table.

Thursday Division 1
The Kids continue to dominate these leagues, having switched from Wednesdays to Thursdays nights. They find themselves joint top with Oxford International who have also made an impressive to the Summer campaign.
The Kids had a 4-1 win over Red Shirts and had the very skilful Terry O Connell in excellent form.
Oxford Intl had an excellent win over last seasons champions EZY FC, giving the Ezy lads a lesson in finishing, with goals from Jason Byrne 3, Conor Hawes 2, Joe Kinsella 2, and Colin Coveney 2.
This division at the moment seems like it might be between these 2 side for honours.
The Portuguese boys Joga Bonito with a couple of Irish lads thrown in, had a wonderful 7-6 win over Los Pisteroles who are mostly made up of EMC employees. The ever reliable Paulo Santos scoring a a hatrick along with a very impressive display from Des Mallon in their midfield who also scored a hatrick. Barry Collins and Ken O Connor were best for Los Pisteroles who were a bit unlucky not to get something from the game having come from 4-1 down at half time.
