Division 3
The Nobodys who are having a very inconsistent season upset table toppers the Sons Of Pitches when they beat them 3-2 last week. A brilliant display from the evergreen Denis Cronin in defence inspired the Nobodys to their best result of the season so far. They deservedly went one up through a well taken David James goal, before Niall Johnson doubled their advantage after 20 minutes with an excellent strike after a neat one two. A cracking shot by Ken O'Connor pulled one back for the Pitches just before half time to set up the 2nd half nicely. The Pitches threw everything at the Nobodys defence as they dominated 2nd half possession. But Cronin was impenetrable and totally dominant at centre back position. Johnson scored to extend their lead before Eoin Barrett scored late on for the Pitches, leading to a tense conclusion, but the Nobodys held on for a deserving victory.
2nd placed Balaga Tonga did not take advantage of the Pitches defeat as they also went down to Men Utd, who also produced their best game of the season, winning by a 4-1 scoreline. Eddie Noonan scored a brace and Bernard Parkes starred for Men Utd as both teams contributed to a highly entertaining battle. Josh King's opener for Balaga, a tremendous volley, was the game highlight.
Shane Browne scored a hatrick for the Lemmons and got the man of the match, but they still went down 9-3 to Whitfords. Jack Russell and John Barry both scored a brace a piece as Gavin Rosser was the pick of the Whitfords players on show and was the most effective player in an over crowded midfield.
Division 2
“The Alan Jordan Memorial Cup”
Boca Seniors took a major step to a Footy title in their maiden season as they beat 2nd placed the Chancers 3-2. Eric Cotter showed some class finishing and scored all of Boca's goals. The Chancers battled hard late in the game and were a little to unlucky not to get something from the game. Jason O' Connell and Liam O Donoghue tried hardest and both scored for the Chancers, but are now 5 points behind the leaders.
The JT Specials may have ended Unreal Madrid chances of honours, by beating them 4-2. Dan Hegarty was brilliant for the Specials and scored 3 cracking goals, the 2nd of which was a beauty. Hegarty's performance and his excellent finishing was the main difference between the sides in a very tight game.
Division 1
Los Pistoleros also gave their best performance to date as they beat the Kids 6-4. Glen Johnson and Sean O Regan were best for Pistoleros and both scored twice. Greg Maher was also excellent for the winners and was full of running. The Kids produce a lack lustre performance and did not match the intensity of their opponents and may now be out of the title race as they are 3 points behind the leaders Oxford along with Ezy FC have a game in hand.
Ezy FC maintained their 2nd place with an easy win over Joga Bonito. Only for keeper Robbie Doyle who made some brilliant saves the scoreline would have looked worse than the final 9-2 outcome. Peter Fitzmaurice and Steve Dwyer both scored 3 a piece for Ezy.
Oxfords kept top spot mainly thank to Stephen Moriarty who was their best player on the night as they also crusied to a 9-1 victory over Red Shirts. Moriarty scored 4 goals and contributed largely to his sides victory.
