Men's Round Up

Sunday: Corinthian 0 TRR 3 (Mitch Darling, Tim Hill, Maarten Sier)
A Mitch Darling wonder goal in the first minute gave Rovers the impetus to go on and win but for a third time this season they struggled for fluidity against Corinthian. They did, however, move top of the table for the first time this season, with only Pembroke left in the race.

Saturday: TRR 4 (Phelie Maguire, Colin Huet, Mitch Darling, Maarten Sier) Glenanne 1 (Graham Shaw)
The result which made the above possible was a lot more convincing. Rovers built up a two goal lead before Graham Shaw scored from a short corner. Rovers, though, looked far more dangerous in attack, adding goals from Darling and Sier with Glenanne's best chances - again from corners - being well saved by Charlie Henderson. It meant the Glens relinquished their title for the first time in two years. In an interesting twist, Sier picked up his fifth yellow of the season, usually worthy of a one-match ban. As the disciplinary committee do not sit until a Monday, though, any ban was not effective until after the Corinthian game.

Pembroke 4 (Alan Sothern 2, John McInroy, Ronan Gormley) Monkstown 1 (Ian Horsfield)
Ronan Gormley continued his goal-scoring form from the OQT as Pembroke bounce back after their first dropped points of the season dent Monkstown's All-Ireland challenge.

Kilkenny 0 Fingal 2 (Trevor Parsons, Eamonn Bane)
Fingal moved back ahead of Monkstown as the twists and turns for All-Ireland places continue to fluctuate and has been one of the fascinating side stories this season. Monkstown will still fancy their chances with UCD on the menu twice while Fingal must play the Glens and Pembroke.

YMCA 4 (Rob Whelan 3, Richard Pedreschi) UCD 1 (Michael O'Connor)
YM schoolboy Rob Whelan shot his first Leinster Senior League hat-trick as YM all but confirmed safety as UCD will have to win their last three matches to get out of the playoff spot. They look destined for the promotion/relegation match, most likely to face an improving Suttonians side.

Corinthian 4 (Conor Motyer, Dan Williams, Andrew Sutton, Garth Ancher) Bray 1 (Simon Cox)
Corinthian still have an outside chance of possibly making the playoff spot for the All-Irelands but their run-in of Pembroke and Glenanne before a road-trip to Kilkenny is unenviable. They beat Bray to record the 100th goal the Wicklow side had conceded this season.
