Ezy FC won their top of the table clash with the Baggios to take the Division 1 title for the 4th time in succession. They also completed a perfect season with 14 wins out of 14, by winning this clash 5-2. This feat has only been done twice in Footy's 9 year history, and has impressively been both times by Ezy in 2013.The Baggios could have won the title if they had won this last game by 4 clear goals took the game too Ezy from the start and were leading 2-1 at half time through 2 excellent goals from Stephen O’Donovan. Ben Ryan and O'Donovan were driving the Baggios forward at every opportunity, but Ezy were good at soaking up the pressure with Shane Browne and Peter Fitzmaurice excellent in defence. The 2nd half half continued with Baggios pushing forward in search of those elusive goals, but eventually Ezy caught them on the break with an excellent counter attacking goal through golden boot winner John Daly. Steve Dwyer and Dave Johnson and Daly again added further break away goals to seal the win and deliver the winners trophy yet again.

Wednesday Division 2
This division came to a really exciting conclusion as Roco Risers, a bunch of young lads just out of Rochestown College, came out on top. They managed to beat Rosies rather easily 7-2 in their final game, gaining the points they needed to have a chance of finishing on top of the pile. They needed Missing FC to take all 3 points against Schuf FC, who themselves only needed a draw to clinch honours.After 20 minutes Schuf were 3-0 up and looked like cruising to honours in their maiden Footy season. But Missing FC incredibly fought back to take a 5-4 win. Their substitute keeper Charlie Quinn was the star of the game as he made brilliant saves in the last 10 minutes to deny Schuf of the point they needed to secure honours. Ryan O’Brien was top player in midfield for Roco all season, who also had the very influential Mark Murphy to the fore in their final 3 league games.

Thursday Division 1
The Drink Team finished as champions here with a week to spare. They were pushed hard for most of the season by the Net Busters, who lost 2 of the 3 crucial ties against the champions. Marcin Glyda and Marcin Zielinsk were their top players for most of the season. This polished Polish outfit played a very simple but very effective passing game and were a pleasure to watch all season and were deserving league winners. They went down 5-4 to the Thirty Somethings in their final game, but with the pressure off they may not have been at full steam. A Graham Virgo hatrick and 2 goals from Mark Murphy after his hatrick last week did the business for the Somethings who contributed largely to this league.

Mount Oval were the Dreamers main challenger's but came up short in the 2 ties against them.The Cowboys who took a while to get to grips with Footy after losing their first 8 games did very well to finish mid table, rounded off their season with an excellent 5-4 win over the Dragons. This division turned out to be an excellent league with a lot of very close games, with the teams at the bottom upsetting the top teams throughout the season.

The Boothouse Bingers deservedly took honours here with 2 weeks to spare. These lads bravely played on in memory of their friend and team mate Brian Conway, who passed away just after the season started. They won their final game in style as they demolished The Mighty Reds. Shane Cahill was their best player all season and a very deserving MVP nominee. Panicyakios who also had an excellent season were the Bingers main threat to honours all season but also came up short in their recent clash with the Bingers. The Ball Busters who finished in 3rd spot, also finished off their season in style with a 2-1 win over the Flying Column, for their 6th win in a row.
