Boca Seniors FC (1)5 Dub FC (4)4

This is a match report that is unlikely to attract many readers after DUB FCs second half capitulation to BOCA.

It all looked so promising after McToal fired Dub in to the lead after just three minutes with an excellent strike form 25 yards.

It got even better for Dub when Sean Doc scored with a piece of clinical finishing.

BOCA replied two minutes later with a goal against the run of play a superb solo effort from Seniors outstanding player Hugh Gonzales who went on to bag a hatrick.

DUB however got just reward for their domination of the first half with two well taken goals by Kevin Madden making his full debut for the club.

The first of which particulary stood out as a great individual effort and marked Madden as a useful asset in DUBs artillery for the rest of the season.

The less said about the second half the better, no one can say they played particularly well during the last 45 minutes and ultimately the side who wanted it more ran out deserved winners.

The end of a long unbeaten run and a warning to DUB that they can afford no complacency in their Christmas fixture list.
