HG coach Sean Flaherty modestly said was a "closer game than the score says". Whether the game was close or not, the score certainly left AMSI without a point after the opening three fixtures of the league. Conversely, COLA. HG go into second after this impressive win. Can they continue their good form in their next match? - A derby against COLA.I match day 5 lights out for beacon as aloysius shines St. Aloysius 11 - 1 Beacon High It did not take Aloysius long to continue their rampant goal scoring form after opening the scoring after a matter of minutes. Solid organisation, great team ethic and some dazzling displays of talent propelled Aloysius to another overwhelming drubbing of their opposition - a lacklustre Beacon. There were moments in the game where Beacon breached the Aloysius defence, capitalising once and becoming the first team to score past Aloysius. Revin scored four more, even whilst spending a lot of the game on the bench. Can Aloysius go the whole season unbeaten? cola hg 3 - 2 Central FB 3-2 loss – good performance and both teams. Worked very hard with good sportsmanship shown throughout. central fb 4 - 4 COLA.i The fixture was another competitive affair, with both sides having key chances to put the game to bed, but none of them were taken. The game finished 4-4. Central are scoring freely enough, but shipping goals at the same time. . match day 4 Aloysius quench their thirst for first after finishing cola-i St. Aloysius 9 - 0 ColA.i The headline score of the day! Aloysius made light work of their opponents COLA-I, scoring 9 goals without reply - for a second consecutive clean sheet and the only team who have never conceded a goal in the LORIC League. It was a tough first game for COLA-I, but they have an early opportunity to bounce back against Central Foundation next. Special mention for Massimo who was singled out as COLA-I's star performer. Central FB 4 - 4 Beacon High A dramatic end to end battle fought with plenty of goals and in the right spirit. Central FB played some good football in the first half, threatening to go ahead from early on with some dangerous strikes narrowly missing the target. Eventually after a lot of knocking, CFB finally got through and then doubled their lead shortly afterwards before Beacon clawed one back moments before half time. The second half proved even more entertaining with CFB capitalising on their chances and all but winning the game by going 4-1 up. Beacon showed their resilience and found a second wind with their star-boy on the day - Didier, who scored a hat-trick to level the game. By the end of the match it could have gone either way as both teams looked dangerous. It seems only fair they ended up sharing the points. SMMA 2 - 2 COLA.HG After their last time out it would be fair to say that SMMA are no strangers to scoring, however it is testament to COLA-HG's resolute defence that this scoreline was relatively low. The game was played in the right spirit and was highly competitive. Honourable mentions for the star performers: Henly & Afeez! COLA-HG go up against Central Foundation next, can they record their first win? Match Day 3 St. aloysius clean up AMSI 0 - 4 St.aloysius St. Aloysius are the first team to keep a clean sheet in a relatively low scoring game against AMSI. Despite conceding four goals, AMSI tightened up at the back after shipping 11 against Mary Mags. Aloysius have started strong, can they build on this victory by keeping more clean sheets? Unfortunately Central Foundation and COLA-HG could not play their fixture, but they are keen to play it at a later date yet to be decided. The league is gradually beginning to take shape. Next week (12th October) every team other than Beacon are in action at St. Aloysius playing fields. It promises to be an exciting day in the LORIC league, which will give very early indications about how the league will pan out. match day 2 Beacon Benefit from Central Forfeit Due to a late forfeit from Central Foundation, Beacon High took all the points to take them to joint top of the league and gaining an early lead on Central Foundation. The Beacon boys are raring to go and cannot wait to play their first fixture. Central have widely been thought of as favourites to win the LORIC league outright, but now they have it all to do as they seek to recover these first lost points. It's only fair to say that Central did swap this fixture and they did not expect to play on this date when the fixtures first came out - so they were unlucky in that sense, but unfortunately there is no other time in the calendar to play the match. Perhaps they can make their mark against COLA-HG next week! match day 1 St. Mary Magnificent! AMSI 3 - 11 SMMA The opening fixture of the LORIC League did not disappoint. Played in good spirit, with mutual respect and maturity - all focus was on the football which maintained a fast tempo from the first whistle. St. Mary Magdalene Academy (SMMA) got off to a flying start scoring two goals within the first 10 minutes without reply, before Arts and Media School Islington tightened up and began to find their rhythm. The first half was competitive and skillful finishing 1-4 with it all to play for in the second half. But shortly after the break SMMA scored again which seemed to knock the wind out of AMSI's sails a little bit, allowing SMMA to press home their advantage and relentlessly pressure AMSI into making mistakes and giving up goals. Some notable performances from Nehmiah, Tristan Alfie M and Mason (all SMMA) who all bagged 2 each, but the stand out player on the pitch was Abdi from AMSI who earned himself a hat-trick and didn't deserve to be on the losing team. islington loric league launches! check this page for updates First of all, a massive thank you to all of the people involved with helping to launch this league - in particular Mike MacNeil & Joe Fox.
