Schuf And Ezy Closing In On Titles

Wednesday Division 2 
Schuf FC are closing in on winning the title and can do so next week over their title rivals Missing FC, if they can get can manage to get a point from the game. Schuf take on Missing in a rich vein of form, while Missing have struggled of late to find some form and will be missing a key player from their midfield in Paul Richardson who is injured. But with the hard working Sinnott brothers and Jurgen Bukowski in their side, Missing will be determined to win, having led the league for most of the season.
3 teams can win this division going into the last game, with Missing FC and Roco Risers both just 2 points behind. Roco will be hoping that Missing can beat Schuf and and get a win over Rosies, this would put them level on points with Missing, but with a better head to head record. Missing will be hoping that they can beat Schuf and that Rosies will do them a favour over Roco so they can come away with the honours. So it will be all to play for with all games in each division happening simultaneously.
Paul Richardson was injured very early in the game last Wednesday against Roco, and although they led 1-0 and 2-1 early in the game they struggled to stay with a resurgent Roco side who were at full strength, and who ran out comfortable 7-4 winners. Mark Murphy and Ryan O'Brien was in great form for Roco, and with centre forward Andrew Dorgan back in form in front of goal with a superb hatrick, which will give them a boost going into their final game against Rosies.
Schuf meanwhile had a hard fought win over bottom placed Angry Badgers, with their two best players all season Darren Lynch (2) and Aidan McGuinness on the score sheet for them. Keith Ryan replied for the Badgers who had a man sin binned during at a crucial stage of the game when they conceded their 2nd goal.
Balaga Tongo had a narrow 2-1 win over Rosies with the reliable Eoin Kennedy with 2 very well taken goals for Balaga, while the very skillful Daniel Freitas scored for Rosies.

Wednesday Division 1
Ezy FC are also closing in on another Footy Title, and are impressively chasing their 4th 1st division title in a row and their 2nd perfect season (14 out of 14 wins). But standing in their way are 2nd placed Baggios, who can snatch the league from them if they can manage to beat EZY by 4 clear goals. Baggios are well capable of this with some excellent players like Ben Ryan and the free scoring Wayne O Callaghan and Darragh O'Regan in their ranks. But it will  be a tough test against Ezy who will start as favourites as won their last encounter 5-2 and with with Dave Johnson, Steve Dwyer and Peter Fitzmaurice and John Daly also in top form for the league leaders. Ezy dispatched Albino Leffe last week with a 5-1 win. The game was tight in the first half at 2-1 but an unanswered hatrick from John Daly in the 2nd half did the business for Ezy.
Baggios also had a comfortable 5-2 win over Sliabh na mBan with Ben Ryan (2) Cian Lucey and Darragh O'Regan their scorers.
Rob O'Donoghue was man of the match for Deportivo as they overcame Fritzl Palace in a tight game and snatched a 2-1 win. O'Donoghue and Colin Gurhy scored the Deportivo goals.
Dynamo Tonduff beat AC Standard 3-2 in a cracking game. John Daniels was best for Standard who had Tim O'Connor score twice. Alan Forde and Dave Murphy replied for Tonduff. This left the game 2-2 at half time. MVP Nominee Dave Murphy scored a 2nd half winner for Tonduff, and his 15th of the season.
