Bobcats Off To Perfect Start

Wednesday Division 3

Footy newcomers The Bobcats are after a perfect start having played 3 and won 3. All their games have been close, none more so than their 5-4 victory last week over Hit or Miss where Paul O’Brien came up with a last minute winner. The Bobcats are the only team in Footy with a 100% record after 3 weeks of games. They also had a 5-4 win on the opening night of the season over Balaga Tongo as well as overcoming Rosies on week 2. The Bobcats look very well organised and solid at the back, and look like early season favourites. Brendan Curtin, Jack McLaughlin and Conor Curtin have had the most influence so far, but goals have been coming from all positions in their side. At this early stage, all teams in this division seem capable of beating each other. The Could Have Beens, a team of veterans with a sprinkling of youth, are after 3 defeats, but all 3 games have been tight and they can be positive for the coming weeks where they should pick up some points. They lost 4-2 last week to 2nd placed AC Standard. The Could Have Beens did well with only 6 players and were chasing an equaliser when Kevin Broderick finished off an excellent counter attack to seal the points for Standard. With Julius Leke a newcomer to their lineup, and a player who looks very comfortable on the ball and Tim O’Connor always a threat for Standard and with the reliable Bill Henry between the sticks they should be contenders. Hit or Miss should also be there or there abouts at the business end of the season having won1, lost 1 and drawn 1 so far. With excellent players like Jurgen Bukowski and Dan McSweeney and keeper Paul Luxford in their ranks they should not far off the pace.

Wednesday Division 2

This league should also be a cracking league with a few excellent games recorded so far this season. Nualight who won their first 2 games and were playing some excellent football, but went down last week 3-0 to Schuf FC who were themselves in top form. Aidan McGuinness, Darren Lynch and Brendan Buckley were on the mark for Schuf. Nualight opened their season with a narrow 2-1 win over Deportivo and followed it up with a cracking 5-3 win over CUH. Kieran Buckley and Damien Galvin look like they will be their main players for the season, but will have to bring more consistency to their side if they are going to challengers. Same goes for CUH who are current leaders having won 2 and lost 1. With Denis O’Mahony and Sean Sheehan in their midfield and the top class finisher Ivan Weir in their side, we should find CUH being contenders. Newcomers Johnny Boys Utd who find themselves at the bottom of the table, but look a decent team and are after 2 draws and 1 loss. They have had 2 excellent games, drawing  2-2 with Deportivo last week following a 4-4 draw with Schuf on opening week. Barry Collins and James Morrissey have been in good form for them and they are sure to jump up the table in the coming weeks. This division is so hard to call at this early stage with all teams capable of earning points off each other. Schuf will be more determined this season having come so close to success last season, may also be in the running and should take plenty of confidence after their demolition job on Nualight last week.
