Ladies Division One
Trinity 1 (Danielle Costigan) Bray 2 (C O'Toole, Linda O'Neill)
In a reduced first division programme due to the IHL, Bray made history with their first ever division one victory, condemning Trinity to a fourth straight defeat. They are firmly rooted on the bottom of the table with Corinthian with Bray now given some breathing space at the bottom.
Old Alex 1 (Sylvia O'Mahony) Glenanne 1 (Dearbhla Kieran)
Just above the bottom pair, Old Alex continued their up and down start to the season, drawing with Glenanne. The Glens continue their confident start to the season with just one loss in five outing, finding themselves tied with Loreto for fifth place, albeit with a game extra played.
Men's Division Two
Dublin University 4 (Andrew Beverland 2, Daire Coady, Jonathon Orr) Skerries 7 (Ali McMahon 4, Alan Earley 2, Felix Mackin) Dublin Uni and Skerries played out a cracker at Santry with 11 goals and a penalty missed. Trinity skipper got a goal on his return to the side but the real star of the day was Ali McMahon, bacing up his double from last week. He and Alan Earley both now have six in two games while Felix Mackin has two in two. The game was well poised at 4-4 before Skerries pulled away in the second half.
Avoca 1 (Scott Wilkie) Clontarf 4 (Rob Abbott 2, Luke Hayden, Ross McMullen) Clontarf picked up a second comfortable win of the season to continue their confident start to the season. They were 3-0 up by the break with Rob Abbott and Luke Hayden deflecting in one apiece and Ross McMullen also on the scoresheet in spite on new French arrival Antoine Tachoires yellow-card.
Scott Wilkie pulled one back from a penalty corner but Abbott emphatically finished to seal the win.
Navan 1 (Eamon Lynskey) Bray 4 (Simon Cox, Xavier van Grive, Phil Davis, Stephen Jones) Another side to have started in decent fashion, Bray are the third side left with a 100pc record, beating a game Navan side at Sportslink. Simon Cox cracked in the opener before Emmet O'Mordha had a chance to set himself. Xavier van Grive got the second on the half-time whistle with a reverse, ending some good Navan fightback.
Further goals from Phil Davis from a corner and Stephen Jones made the game safe. Eamon Lynskey got one back, deflecting in Simon Clarke's crash ball for a consolation goal - the Badgers' first of the season.
Suttonians 5 (Mukhtar Ahmed, Richie Wormold, David Quinn, Ed Hipwell, Marc Guerin) Weston 0 Suttonians bounced back from their defeat to Bray with a good win over the Lucan side who, while they improved from their opening day result, will be concerned not to have got on the scoreboard yet this season.
Mukhtar Ahmed latched onto an overhead and slotted home to set the ball rolling. A break saw Wormold get the second. Weston had some decent chances early in the second half but Sutton were more decisive in front of goal, with David Quinn, Ed Hipwell and Marc Guerin weighing in.

Some good results this weekend. Shock result of the weekend is Skerries beating trinity. Although I think Bary Sutts and Clontarf are the teams to beat.
cant really see Trinity competiting for the top 2 spots after the result at the weekend
Another corner from Phil Davis, this is really getting beyond a joke!! Nice work Filthy, married life must be doing the trick for you mate.....
Great work on Div 2, nice to be able to find out what happened in other matches!! In the Sutts match, Muhktar scored the 5th by a flick and Gueran scored the 1st from a thru pass. Keep up the good work!!
Clearly the loss of Noonan has been a gain for Skerries this season! McMahon and Early seem unstoppable up front with 13 goals between them!
Its great to find out how the teams are doing in this league. There are still alot of games to play so its a bit early to call it.
How will the Div 2 teams fair up against the Northern teams.
Skerries arent good enough to compete against Bray Clontarf and suttonians.
Thats the type of attitude Trinity had and if it continues Skerries will be well on their way to the top! Without Noonan stalling the play up front the skerries attack is very dangerous.
Clontarf are the team too beat this year, loads of new faces in the squad from previous 2 seasons and a good blend of youth and experience,add to that a very experienced and successful coach.
Its funny how ppl put up posts with out any names on them! Skerries didnt exactly fire when Noonan wasnt around for much of last season, did they?
Skerries finished fourth in the table and made the final of the Neville Davin....with Tom on the bench for most of it!
Tom (should have joined years ago)forget about the comments let your hockey do the talking, as for last year Skerries finished 4th and got to the final of the Neville Davin cup, when you came back you couldnt get in the team, you tried to jump ship 2 years ago to Portrane (acoording to a very realiable source they didnt need you)we are delighted you are getting on so well with your new team and look forward to the local derby. Best of luck i hope you find the net soon.
I dont know if Brian McMahon was playing on sat but he is defnitly skerries best asset in the middle of the pitch!Prob one of the most under rated players in the div!
Dont have a user name, but this is Dotsie. Tom dont be getting wound up so much, you never could take a slagging. We've had a couple of good results, but we started like this last year too. Lets see how the next few game goes against Sutts and then we can see if there is progression.
By the way Tom, we were flying untill you came back last year ;-b
Yes i agree with Dotsie we'll know more at half season point, Tom Good luck for the season, if your getting this wound up over a few words just wait until the first tackle from Shane Healy (our new centre back for Derby matches) goes in. All the best Orange never was your Colour.
Earlo
im lovin the passion from Skerries players ! great reading !
