Magyars Pass Panicyakios Test

Thursday Division 2
2 probable contenders for this division went head to head last week, as The Wanted FC took on Panicyakios. The Hungarians lads coming out on top in a feisty affair by 4 goals to 2. The Magyars did well coming from 2 goals behind after Panic dominated the early exchanges jumping 2 in front after 15 minutes with goals from Peter Reidy and Paul Stanton. The second goal from the impressive Paul Stanton seemed like it might be crucial as they scored seconds after Horvath missed a great chance to equalise but his first touch left him down in front of goal. The Hungarians boys deservedly got back on level terms before the break and this gave them more confidence for the second half as they were growing into the game. Wanted FC sealed the points with 2 unanswered second half goals. One each from the boot of Andre Hegarty and Zsolt Laszlo did the trick. This win puts them back on top with a point to spare over Hardly Athletic who they will face next week.
Mount Oval lost valuable ground as they went down to the Rotten Johnnies who had their first win of the season. The Johnnies had their best team lined for the first time this season and they should make up ground on the leaders in the coming weeks if this display was anything to go by. Conor Lyons was best for the Johnnies in this very open game that produced 11 goals, with 7 going to the Johnnies. Phil Mohally showed some clinical finishing and scored a hatrick for the winners.
Polish man Rob Kregial also showed what a good finisher he is, scoring all 4 of the Mount Ovals goals.
Hardly Athletic kept ground with the leaders with a fine 4-1 win over Bayer Neverlusen. The games highlight being a cracking volley from Hardly's Laurence Ging from 20 yards. Rob Dwyer scored a brace for the winners here also.
Old rivals Boca Seniors and the Thirty Somethings, both of whom have dropped a division this Summer, went head to head again, in a game that is usually a close encounter. This was no different ending in a 3-3 draw, with a late equaliser from Brian McLoughlin for the Somethings. Eric Cotter scored 2 superb goals for the Bocas

Thursday Division 1
Ezy Fc continued their winning ways with a comfortable 7-2 win over the Sons of Pitches. Andy O'Mahony impressed the most and scored twice for Ezy, as did Steve Dwyer and Dave Johnson. Defender Peter Fitzmaurice scored with a cracking low drive from 18 yards for the games best goal. Con Carey and Alan White were on the mark for the Pitches who were always second best on the night.
The Dreamers got their season off the mark with their first win over The Vale AFC. Dreamers coming out 3-1 on top with goals from Dave Linnane (2) and Dean Cummins. Their keeper Carlo Gleeson had an excellent game in goal. Ken O'Connor was the lone Vale scorer.


Thursday Division 3
Next weeks tie between newcomers Crystal Eagle and River Plate, looks like it will be important as the season progresses into week 5. Both these sides have been in excellent form, and both had big wins last week.
Crystal Eagle thumped the JT Specials 8-2, while River Plate overcame other potential title rivals KFC by 3 goals to 2 in an excellent game. Danny Meade with the all important late goal for River Plate in a game neither side deserved to lose.
Declan Kelly was man of the match for The Barrels as they beat Pathetic Athletic comfortably. Craig Hayes was on the mark 3 times and Ivan Weir and Dean Long both had a brace of goals a piece for the winners.

Men Utd and Whitfords played out a really close game with United just shading it 2-1. All 3 goals came in the first half, Stephen O'Neill and Conor Regan were on the scoresheet for the winners, while the evergreen Cameron Espey replied for Whitfords
