SLIGO ROVERS ASTRO LEAGUE EJS CLAIM ASTRO LEAGUE CROWN
E
js claimed the astro league title last month after recording an emphatic 101 victory over a depleted Strand Celtic side. Ejs knew
before kick-off that they required just 1 point in order to be crowned champions. Any nerves were put to bed quite quickly, as at times they stroked
the ball around for fun and Adrian Toher gave his side a deserved lead with just over ten minutes gone. Ejs were then rampant and notched another
9 goals through a hat-trick from Lee Marshall, a double from Ronan Cox, and goals from Alan Gilmartin, Kiki O’Grady, Glenn Shannon and another
goal from Adrian Toher. The result was an unfair reflection on Strand Celtics performances to date in the league, but it was also a testament to EJs who have been the most consistent side in the league, registering 16 victories from 18 matches. The night was then topped off for EJs, as their prolific striker Ronan Cox, received the award for leading goal scorer , registering a fantastic 30 gaols in 18 games. The teams from the league will now be split in two, as the top 5 teams will now enter a champions league competition, while the bottom 5 teams will enter the Europa league competition. Each team will start on zero points and will play each other twice. The split will run over a course of 8 weeks, with 2 cup competitions also taking place. The league as a whole will finish in May and members of the public are welcome to attend any game they wish. Matches are played on a Tuesday at 9pm, Wednesday at 8&9pm and finally Fridays at 8 & 9pm.
