As we enter the final weeks of the season, no fewer than 6 (SIX!!) teams remain in the running for the league title. Six teams have dropped points in 3 games meaning it really is anyone's game as we enter the business end.
A huge 3-1 win for Bluestreak vs Cutters kept their interests alive and dealt a huge blow to the Clare men's league ambitions. Barely Athletic ensured they lost no ground and got through their match vs Brazuca with a 2-1 win. Wembledines and Tacklescardia played out a 3-3 draw with hat trick Dan McGovern rescuing a point for the med students at the death from the penalty spot (video below). In the Polish derby, it was last year's Cup winners Polonia Limerick FC that came out on top in a 3-0 victory.
A betting man would not fancy handicapping this market as all six teams harbour genuine ambitions of lifting the league trophy in a few weeks. Barely and Cutters have the most ground to make up, but they have the most games to do it. Polonia Limerick and Bluestreak will be aiming to capture maximum points in their remaining two games and hope results elsewhere go their way. Cappaquigley avoid playing any of the top six in their final two games and know two wins will put them in pole position to capture the title while Team Polonia Limerick will hope that a win vs Tacklescardia in their final game will be enough points in the bank to avoid being caught. An thrilling end to the season in store!!
Last minute equaliser for Tacklescardia from hat trick hero Dan McGovern.
