Division
2
Boca
Seniors took the division 2 title which went down to the last series
of games. The Chancers who were in 2nd place went into
the last week with a chance of winning the league but needed a favour
from Unreal Madrid to upset Boca Seniors, and win their own clash
against the Dragons. Neither of these scenarios worked out as Bocas
convincingly beat an under strength Madrid side 6-2. While the
Chancers also came up short and were beaten 2-1 by a resurgent
Dragons side. Tony Hennessy scored a brace for Bocas while Eric
Cotter was best for the Champions on the night as they did well and
came from a goal down. The Dragons who have been very inconsistent
this season mainly due to fielding a different side almost every
week, gave their best display of the season to stifle the Chancers.
Tim O Callaghan and Rory Walsh were best for the Dragons while
O'Callaghan and Fiachra O'Driscoll scored their goals. Gavin
O'Driscoll bagged his golden boot award with an excellent volley and
his 25th goal of the season for the Chancers.
The
JT Specials were inspired by MVP winner Dan Hegarty who scored their
2 goals in their 2-1 win over Mount Oval. The Specials who struggled
early in the season with the added pressure of moving to division 2
after several years in division 3, settled very well in the last few
weeks and played some decent football. Mount Oval will also need to
find a consistent team next time out as too many changes in their
weekly line up has also affected their position.
Division
3
The
Sons of Pitches who took the title with a week to spare, beat the
Lemmons 5-4 in a very exciting game to close out the Summer season.
The Lemmons looked a beaten side came back from 5-2 down to almost
snatch a draw from the Champions. MVP nominees Michael Deasy and Alan
O Sullivan were again best for the Pitches while Justin Banks and
Cormac Murphy were best for the Lemmons.
Stuart
Howard starred for the Whitfords as they beat Men Utd 6-2. Howard
showed some sensational finishing as he scored 5 times for his side.
This victory was even more impressive as this aging Whitfords team
played with only 6 players, but used the counter attacking game to
great effect.
2nd
placed Balaga Tonga won their last game with a hard fought 2-1 win
over the Nobodys. Josh King and Eoin Hayes scored for Balaga while
Barry Clinton replied for the losers.
Division
1
Ezy
FC have now dominated this top league for 3 seasons. This side was
astutely managed by Shane Browne this season, who got his sides
tactics right for the big games this season. The dynamic energy of
John Daly in the Ezy midfield proved pivotal for them and he
deservedly picked up the MVP award. Dave Johnson who played as a very
effective holding center forward for the season also played a major
role as did the powerful duo of Steve Dwyer and Peter Fitzmaurice.
Goalkeeper Justin Banks and Paul Smith Lyons also had impressive
seasons for the Champions who had many players in double figures in
the goalscoring chart.
Joga
Bonito overcame the Red Shirts 6-3 in an entertaining game with the
game highlight being a wonderful chip by Daniel Freitas from 45 yards
for the last kick of the game. Brian Lyons and Killian Boland were
excellent for the Red Shirts but came up short against Bonito whose
side was high on skill level and showed some lovely touches and
passing moves.
