Division 1

New table Toppers the Booze Crew won a pulsating clash with the Sleazy Lemmons 7-5. This game was played at a very high intensity by both sides and led to a very entertaining game with lots of high quality goals scored. The Cobh lads went into a 2 goal lead after only 2 minutes, before Sleazy ever settled. But settle they did and brought it back to 2-2 at the break. With the game tied at 5-5, Jimmy Griffin scored a brilliant goal with a few minutes left. Both he and Damien Brady who scored 4 times were best for Booze Crew. Glen and Dave Johnson with scored a brace each and they and Steve Dwyer were best for the Lemmons.

The Trotters and Crossbarry clash was another high quality spectacle. John Paul O Mahony scored 4 of Crossbarry goals, and the all important last minute equaliser. The Trotters will feel like they threw this game away as they were 5-3 up with 5 minutes left. These valuable lost points may yet cost them a shot at the title. Keith Kelleher was best for the Trotters.

The Booze Crew will be hard to stop now with only 2 games left after 3 important wins on the bounce

The Thirty Somethings were 4-3 winners over Racing Club. Graham Virgo rolled back the years and rolled in the winner with the final kick of the game for a deserving victory. Jason Lake and Ed Noonan were Racing's top players on the night while Virgo and Shane O Donoghue were tops for the Somethings.

CSKA Tongo pulled off an excellent victory, a 3-2 win over Abcde FC. CSKA played with 6 players for most of the 2^nd half as they had a player sent off for dissent. However they adopted a sit back and defend tactic and played on the break, which worked a treat as Philip Cotter broke out of defence and scored with a well taken goal to seal the points. Joe Dempsey and John Crean (2) were brilliant for Tongo while Tom Rice and Wilson were on the scoresheet for Abcde FC.
