Bluestreak FC 2-1 Delta Rejects FC
The early kick off saw bottom take on
second from bottom, bluestreak had to pace themselves for a second game at 7pm.
Both teams struggled to get settled in the game possibly down to the freezing
temperatures. Bluestreak won a corner with a bit of good work down the right
wing from Dara Shanahan. After a beautiful delivery big man James Hayes got
something on it to put it in the back of the net which had Bluestreak dreaming
of their first victory. Delta Rejects kicked into gear and began passing it
around nicely before they got a great opportunity from a lovely ball straight
down the middle only to be cleared away from a last ditch challenge from
Bluestreaks steely defence. Brian McKeown made no mistake to make it 1-1.
Bluestreak made it 2-1 thanks to that man again James Hayes. Bluestreak ran out
deserved winners with the first victory this season and got the perfect start
for their double header night. Delta Rejects could not build on their first
points from the previous week and finished the league in 9th.
Bluestreak FC 3-0 Boca Seniors
Boca seemed to have the dream match here
playing a Bluestreak team with 60 minutes worth of mileage on the clock. Dara
Shanahan made it 1-0 to continue his scoring form thanks to a lovely
finish. Boca struggled to get a foot on
it as passes consistently went astray. Bluestreak made no mistake in getting
another as Big Dara laid it on a plate for little Darragh to finish beautifully
into the bottom corner to put Bluestreak in dreamland, they could be getting
more points in 1 night than the entire previous season. Boca began getting
somewhere with some half chances but received a killer blow from Bluestreaks
Callum Stewart to ruin Bocas hopes of getting something from this game.
Bluestreak made it 6 from 6 on the night and got their first two victories of
the league. Bluestreak finish up in 6th before the teams get split
up with Boca finishing 7th.
Team Lightning 2-0 The lakers
Team lightning were still reeling off their
shock win against top team Delta. Eyebrows were raised on the sidelines as
Chimka didn’t start this game. The lakers had the better of the opening few
minutes until Chimka had to come on for the injured Ian Sullivan. Chimka made
an instant impact with a goal on the 23rd minute. The lakers began
getting a foot on it, stroking it around nicely with some very nice build up
play leading to a decent chance spurned from Lakers strikeforce. They went in
at the half with all to play for. Chimka was at it again with a beautiful
finish 7 minutes into the second half to make it 2-0. Team lightning go marching
on with 4 wins on the bounce. If they can continue this form as they are split
into two leagues who knows where they can end up. Lakers finish up 8th
with a season that has petered out.
Wembeldines 2-4 Cutters
There was some sore heads as the top 4
teams played at the same time to decide who won the title. Analog needed a
favour from Cutters and a victory over Delta for them to win the league. Delta
had their fath in their own hands with any result winding up with the league
trophy in their cabinet. Wembeldines needed to win here and Delta needed to
lose for Wembeldines to win the league. They got off to the worst possible
start as Cutters’ Cormac O’Donovan made a storming run from the centre circle
and a powerful finish from just outside the box. Cutters were really at it tonight as they got
another before half time to make it 2-0. Wembeldines Pa O’Donovan got one back
which resulted in some handbags leading to a Wembeldines sinbin just before the
half. 2-1 at half time still all to play for. Padraig O’Loughlin made it 3-1
after the half to settle the Cutters nerves again. Wembeldines were throwing
the kitchen sink at it in the hope of snatching the league. This level of
attack eventually told as Wembeldines made it 3-2 thanks to a Brian Aherne
penalty. Wembeldines began to dream as the other game stayed 0-0. Unfortunately
for Dines Cathal Tots O’Connell dashed their hopes with a lovely finish to make
it 4-2. Cutters finished up 2nd in the end with Dines heartbroken in
4th.
Delta 1-0 Analog
This was a cagey affair as both teams were
afraid to concede. Surprisingly, the game was lacking a bit of quality as the
first half was peppered with free kicks. Analog began to get excited at the
half as they overheard cutters were leading. They knew they needed a goal and
truly went for it in the second half with the Delta defence resisting well and
putting fear into Analog with their lightning fast counter attacks. Eventually
Delta put the game to bed with a late goal to give themselves the league. Delta
win the league and Analog finish up in 3rd. We are in for an
exciting top league with 2nd and 4th only separated by
goal difference and an in form Team lightning side looking to dethrone Delta.
