Corinthian extend league lead to four points

Men's Division One:
Corinthian 4 (Darren Kimfley 3, David Carson) UCD 1 (John McInroy)
Darren Kimfley starred as Corinthian reasserted their point lead at the top of division one as they eased to victory over UCD in a bloody encounter at Whitechurch Park. All the goals came in the first half as the reds built up a three-goal advantage before John McInroy netted a penalty stroke awarded after the ball hit compatriot Andrew Cronje on the body.

But Corinthian struck again before half-time and held the students at bay in the second half. Kimfley bagged a hat-trick with his third being the pick of the bunch, taking the ball from halfway, beating three men and smashing home a forehand shot. UCD's injury room will be a busy place, too, with Tim Hill breaking a nose after a tackle on Barry Glavey, James McGann received stitches above his eye and Ronan Flannery also received a cut in his mouth. Ronan Motyer, however, soldiered on after taking a ball to the head.


Men's Division Two:
Bray 1 (Phil Davis) Weston 2 (Enda Tucker, Phil Barron)
Weston moved back into a tie for second place in the division two rankings after they scored the odd goal in three against Bray, making up for their recent cup loss. Enda Tucker and Phil Barron both were on the mark from penalty corners while Bray skipper Phil Davis scored for the hosts.

Should have been a cricket score. Gribs was by far best player on the pitch. If he goes back to chc next year he'll walk onto the 1st team.
