Thursday
Division 1
Chris Hayes was man of the match in one
of the Dreamers better performances this season as they held the Net
Busters to a 3-3 draw. Hayes was in excellent form and scored a brace
to put a dent in the Net Busters hopes of success this season. This
game was tight throughout with the score tied 1-1 at half time. A
point a piece was fair to both sides.
Boca Seniors had their first win of the
season as they toppled the Thirty Somethings 2-0. This result also
severely dents the Somethings chances as they now find themselves 9
points off the pace. The Bocas had their strongest team out yet this
season and it showed as they looked comfortable throughout the game.
A goal in each half from Ronan O'Sullivan and Joe McAulliffe did the
trick.
Ezy FC took another giant step towards
the title as they did really well to come from 2-0 down to beat the
Booze Buddies 4-2. Paul Smith Lyons was best for Ezy in a midfield
defensive holding role but was on the score sheet twice . Ezy played
some superb football especially in the 2nd half.
Ger Brady and Owen Kinsella were on the
mark early on for The Booze Buddies who were out of the blocks
quicker. Andy O Mahony and Steve Dwyer were Ezy's other scorers.
Thursday
Division 2
Mount Oval and River Plate played out a
very tense and exciting 3-3 draw. This result suits the Oval better
as it keeps The Carrigaline lads 2 points behind. Only 4 points
separate the top four teams, so this leagues looks to be really tight
and a hard one to call, at the half way stage of the season.
Peter Meade scored the games best goal
for River Plate to put his side 2-1 up, with a beautiful low drive
that went in off the post after some skilful midfield play by man of
the match Kevin Wilmott.
Oval's centre forward Dave Hogan was a
real handful for the River Plate defence and was a constant threat
throughout. Adam O Sullivan marshalled Mount Ovals defence very well
for the hour.
The Sons of Pitches lost out on the
chance to go joint top, but came unstuck against the JT Specials who
gave their best performance of the season and deservedly took the 3
points on offer. Dan Hegarty was brilliant and scored a great hatrick
for the Specials in their 5-3 win. James O Loughlin was best for the
Pitches who brought it back to 3-3 but could not hold down Hegarty in
the Specials forward line as he went on to score twice in the last 10
minutes.
Cork Celtic were too strong for The
Cowboys and won 6-2. Glen Kenny scored a hatrick for Celtic who got
off to a quick start and were 4-1 up at the break.
Hardly Athletic overacme FC Copen Badly
5-3 in a very open but closely fought game with both sides throwing
caution to the wind and concentrated on attacking. Barry O Hanlon was
the best player on the pitch for the hour and scored twice for the
winners. His teammate Ger Dolan did likewise as did Peter Carroll for
Copen Badly.
Thursday
Division 3
Shanty United proved too strong for the
Whitfords and comfortably won 7-3. Michael O'Reilly was most
impressive for the winners here and scored 3 excellent goals, the
second of which was a superb individual effort. The Whitfords did
play some excellent football but failed to take some good chances
earlier in the game which they paid for later on.
Paniacyakios had a very comfortable win
over the Flying Column who are struggling this season with injuries.
But Panicyakios were excellent with Peter Reidy and Paul Stanton in
top form. The Exiles stayed in touch with a 5-0 walkover over Black
Gold, who did not show up in the horrendous weather. Its looks like
its between the top two at this stage, with Shanty and Whitfords
capable of upsetting the form book when on their game.
The Barrels had too much fire power for
a weakened Men Utd side and won 7-3. Pat Coleman and Phil Wade were
best for the Barrells. Dean Long also chipped in with 2 goals.
