The Dublin Fighting Irish are taking a road trip to take on the Central Chargers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Central took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Dublin, who comes in off a win.

Central better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if Dublin's game on Friday is any indication, that's when Dublin really gets things going. Everything went the Fighting Irish's way against Bleckley County as they made off with a 42-19 win. The result was nothing new for the Fighting Irish, who have now won four contests by 23 points or more so far this season.

Dublin got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Travion Bostic out in front who rushed for 93 yards on only nine carries. Bostic got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 50 yards.

Meanwhile, Central played a tough matchup on Thursday in which they were outscored in every quarter. They took a blow against Northeast, falling 61-6. The Chargers have struggled against the Raiders recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.

The win made it two in a row for Dublin and bumps their season record up to 6-2. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 42.0 points over those games. As for Central, their loss dropped their record down to 0-8.

Thursday's game might be decided in the trenches. Dublin has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 325.5 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Central, though, as they've been averaging only 49.9 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?

Everything came up roses for Dublin against Central in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 69-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Fighting Irish since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
