The first set of finals for the summer superleague of 2022 are here!
It’s a football final double header, with the ladies’ football final opening proceedings, followed by the men’s final. This will be kicking off on Friday the 26th of August, starting at the slightly later time of 7:30pm at Vanier.
With the Gaels having put the Goose Village Blackrocks to the sword last week, the Vikings’ place in the finals was secured. On paper, the Gaels will be favourites here, they’re unbeaten this season, and are coming in off the back of a solid win. But the Vikings squad will be better rested and will surely have something to prove against such an imperious side. With both teams capable of fine flowing football, this final should be an absolute cracker.
Following on from this we will have the men’s final – this fixture was decided back in week ten, when the Gaels put an end to any hopes of a fairy-tale end to the season for the Verdun Vikings. But the Vikings might still have a part to play, as they handed the Blackrocks a defeat last week that could very well knock their confidence. On the other hand, while the Gaels will have the advantage of a longer rest that might be coupled with some more cobwebs to shake on the day. There’s very little between these two sides and this one could go either way, and with both sides having some grudges to settle, this promises to be an entertaining end to the summer football season!
