NIKO’s Last-Gasp Hat-Trick Wins Derby Thriller

14 November 2026

Naas White pulled off a stunning derby heist, Nikodem Dziabor’s injury-time hat-trick sealing a breathless 4–3 win over Naas Blue.

White led 2–0 through Sean Savage and a Niko rocket struck so purely that “two keepers wouldn’t have saved it.” But old bad habits returned in a wild ten-minute spell, and Blue hit back to stun the visitors and lead 3–2.

Down but not out, Niko and Sean insisted on a return to the fray — and how they answered. The magnificent Niko picked the ball up out wide, cut inside, and unleashed a strike that simply flew in to level it.

And still he wasn’t done. Deep into injury time, White kept the faith, kept passing, kept believing — and the final kick of the game fell to Niko, who buried it for a hat-trick and a famous win. David was majestic in midfield, Sam a rock at the back, while Sean Carey ran himself ragged up and down the flank.
