MIDWEEK

Aisling Annacotty 4 Mungret Regional 1

Aisling hosted a Mungret Regional side who were two for two in the league but the visitors had no answer to Declan Farmer’s side on the night.

Mungret were just settling into the tie when Niko Kozlowski fired Aisling in front after seven minutes. Three minutes later Kozlowski turned provider to set up Adam Foley to double the lead.

Aisling increased their lead courtesy of Conor Coughlan to kill off the contest before the break. Sean O'Haodha made it 4-0 in the second half as Mungret were reduced to ten. Kieran Long scored a late consolation for Paul Danaher’s side.

Fairview Rgs 2 Nenagh AFC 1

Oleg Vysochan gave Fairview a dream start, scoring after four minutes. The same player doubled the lead ten minutes after the break but the visitors clung on and with 20 minutes remaining Dan O’Meara pulled one back to leave the minimum between the sides but the champions saw out the game to take the spoils.

Weekend Action

Aisling Annacotty 0 Fairview Rgs 3

Premier League Champions Fairview Rgs moved ominously to the top of the table with a comfortable win over nearest challengers Aisling Annacotty in Annacotty on Saturday.

Fairview were rock solid across the pitch and seem to have none of the hunger that has seen them win back-to-back titles.

Fairview had a great chance to open the scoring early on when Oleg Vysochan cut in from the right, but his goal-bound shot was blocked by Jack Aherne. Fairview opened the scoring from a set piece after eight minutes.

Shane Duggan’s inswinging free-kick saw Tomas O’Connor win the challenge, and the ball bounced favourably for Yoyo Mahdy to head home from close range.

Duggan bagged a second goal for the ‘View right on half time to make Aisling’s task even more difficult. Aisling’s attempt to play the ball out from defence nearly cost them a third goal, but Vysochan’s shot beat both the defenders and goalkeeper, only to strike the upright.

Aisling’s relief was short-lived, however, and minutes later Fairview scored the crucial third goal. Vysochan’s inswinging corner caused confusion in the Aisling goalmouth, with goalkeeper Stephen McNamara attempting to keep the ball out, but only succeeding in knocking it over the line to kill off the game as a contest.
