You think the Union looked good on Wednesday night? Wait until Vincent Nogueira and Cristian Maidana get more time together with each playing in their preferred position. Then look out.
Kevin Kinkead, who led the way for most of the tournament, finished in the top spot individually and also led the Media Oracles to victory over the Union Clairvoyants and the PSP Prognosticators in the team competition.
Conor Casey kept up his goalscoring ways, and the Union held onto a lead when they needed to, beating their I95 rivals, 3-1.
