Division 2.
Panicyakios got their Summer campaign off and running with a fine win 4-2 over the Rotten Johnnies. After losing their opening game of the season going down 3-2 to Hardly Ath, it was important they picked up something from this fixture. To Panicyakios's advantage the Johnnies were a man short, for the first 20 minutes and went 2-0 in front with goals from Peter Reidy and Cian Connolly. However Rotten Johnnies settled once they got a seventh player on the pitch and got back into the game with a goal before half time. Paul Fortune was organising the Panic defence well and were holding well under pressure as the Johnnies came forward in search of the equaliser. That equaliser came with a fine effort from Phil Wade with 15 minutes left.. But Panicyakios scored the crucial 3rd goal within seconds to regain the lead, with a superbly worked team goal finished from the classy right boot of Reidy. Panic then played a counter attacking game for the last quarter of the game and scored again with a great strike from Stephen Ahern.The Wanted continued into week 2 with another fine win over an under strength Mount Oval outfit. This Hungarian team played all the football in this one sided game. Horvath was excellent for the Eastern Europeans and scored a brace. Andrew Hegarty was on the mark 3 times for The Wanted, who look like early season favourites and look like they will be hard to stop. Bayer Neverlusen also got their first points with a 4-2 win over the Thirty Somethings. Star man here was Gonzola Vidal who contribution was immense. Ashley Gyves hit an impressive hartrick for Neverlusen. Mark Murphy and Niall Kerrigan scored for the Somethings who were a little unluckly not to get something from this closely fought game.Boca Seniors had to use all their experience to overcome Hardly Ath, but did so with a 4-2 win. Paul Tierney looked a class apart on the pitch as he ran their midfield, also contributing 2 goals in a very impressive display. This game was an excellent advert for the Footy leagues with some high quality play from both sides. Ger Dolan was best for Hardly Ath. Dave McCarthy and Bobby Rodgers were on the mark for the losers. The reliable Eric Cotter and Joe McAulliffe were Boca's other goalscorers.
