St Anne's were very slow to get off the mark this morning. Parkville seemed to have all the possession and were putting Anne's defence under a lot of pressure. Parkville were playing all the balls down the right wing and over the top to Tawana Mudawapi who had some pace and was causing Anne's a lot of trouble and he got his reward with a great strike into the back of Anne's net. Shortly afterwards Tawana got his second as he chased down the long ball over the top and Anne's keeper tried to clear the ball but bounced off Tawana and ended up in the back of the net. Parkville went 2 nill up. Anne's faught back just before halftime as Parkvilles keeper saved Anne's 1st attempt and the ball landed back at the feet of Thomas Foy who looked like he was going to shout instead played the smart ball through to Will McGrath who put Anne's on the score board.

Halftime 2-1 Parkville. Anne's came out the better side in the second half and started to play the ball down the right wing to Tiarnan O'Donoghue who was causing trouble for Parkvilles defence and got Anne's back level with a great strike. All square 20 minutes to go. Tiarnan shortly afterwards got his second goal and put Anne's in front. Anne's widened their lead with a fourth goal from Will McGrath. Parkville never gave up and a great game was had between the two teams.

Nurney were very unlucky at times but Ballymurphy did stay very strong throughout the full 60 mins and after a lovely run down the right by Josh solway to cross to the man we call Michael owen junior,the mighty james Scallan tipped into an empty net,

It was a good sporting game and nurney had a great spirit to keep going and there mentors john joe and james got right behind them,and there stars on the day were Paddy Ranta,Shane Glynn,and Aaron o brien.

The Ballymurphy team were supported by powerful perfomences by Ardagh o Shea, Finn Scully,Noah Fitzpatrick and Josh Salway.

Very exciting first meeting of both these teams this year. Both teams started brightly which had both keepers on their toes during the first half. the first half ended all even going in.

The second half again didn't fail to disappoint as both teams worked hard in the middle of the park which finally seen Fiaccs break the deadlock in the 60th minute. New Oak battled hard but could not find the back of the net with the Fiaccs keeper in fine form today.

Fiaccs went on to score their second with two minutes to go to finish the day.

Great game by two fantastic teams which the scoreline didn't reflect the game. All around great team performance by both teams.

On a lovely fresh morning in The Plots, Hanover Harps met Killeshin for an amazing game of soccer that made sure both sides were wide awake. It was Killeshin who dominated play in the first half with the Hanover defenders and goal keeper working very hard to keep shots off target. However, just before the half time whistle Killeshin broke through and scored a beautiful goal . 1-0 to Killeshin at half time.

In the second half it was Hanover that came out stronger and piling on the pressure. Lots of shots taken by both teams, it was 10 minutes into the second half seen Killeshin get one of those shots on target making the score 2-0. After a slight fumble on the goal line from Killeshin only one minute later, Hanover were back in the game 2-1. Neither team giving up, it was game on. Hanover putting Killeshins defence under pressure and vice versa, it made for a very exciting game of soccer. However it was Andrian Robu for Hanover who broke through the Killeshin defence and went one on one with the keeper coming out with a perfectly placed equaliser. Final score 2-2.
