West Ireland defeated Na Fianna by a couple of points (sorry but i couldnt tell you the actual score) Once again the catalyst for the Goats turning round a 3 point half time deficit was "Little" Jack Horan who continues his stellar season and would be leading the Association Medal at this point of the year.
Mitcham 3.8 - 17 def Irish Australians 2.4 - 10 for their first win of the season and their first rendition of "Its a grand old flag". Best for the Hawks was John "Manners" Mason who was well supported by Soxy whilst Cathal was easily Irishs' most dangerous looking player in the game.
St.Brendans 14.9 - 51 def Flinders 3.9 - 18. This score is not a misprint. On a dark day for Flinders i was told that this was there biggest loss in their 29 year history :( . Best for the Saints was Benny Newbs whilst the returning Tony "Hubba Bubba" Huebner managed to snag 6 goals. Young Anthony up forward always looked dangerous for the Reds. This scoreline is another great example of why we must revert back to 15 a side Gaelic Football. 13 a side is a horses a**and it does no good for our State moving forward and facilitates farcial scorelines like the one in this game.
Onkas 3.10 - 19 def Port 2.7- 13. This game saw a new record set for fastest goal in State League as Gabe Phillips found the back of the net in the 16 second of the game albeit after a questionable advantage. Apart from the early setback the game was fairly evenly matched especially in the second half. Best for Onkas was the great Gabe along with "Big" Pedds and Samuel "Chewbacca" Janetski recovery from a corkie earlier in the day to be able to play at full capacity was remarkable. Ports boys all battled hard with Sambo and the Rocket leading the way.
On a day for the record books - yesterday also included "the first person ever to be CUT OFF at the bar at St Mary's"! Take a bow John "Butters" O'Leary (Onkas) who looked like he hadn't been home in 3 days and was quite rightly shown a red card by the Gaelic HQ bar staff...!!
Couldn't agree more CT. He had about a weeks worth of night club stamps. However I must say the conversations between him & Tony Conlon was one of the more entertaining that I have heard!
