NEWTOWN JUNIORS

Our Under 8’s had an action-packed an exciting time at the WDSL Futsal competition in Aughrim last Sunday. They played plenty of games, scored some goals and played some excellent football. Well done all.

Our 9’s enjoyed an excellent game away to Glencormac United where Liam Kinlan and Pat Carey found the net. Best for Newtown were Mikey Synnott, William Valentine and DJ Keating. The Under 10’s were involved in a high scoring game where the attackers certainly had the better of things as St Anthony’s defeated our team 8-5. Jake Robertson (2), Cormac chance, Matthew Doyle and Cathal O’Toole scored the Newtown goals.

The Under 11’s came out on top at home to St Anthony’s thanks to a Mason Melia hat-trick in a 3-2 win. Best for Newton were Aaron Hackett, Padraig Gammell, Eoghan Fox and Hannah Martin.

Our Under 13’s were idle but some of the squad were in action playing for the WDSL Inter League team in games against the Drogheda League in Greystones. Martin Kelly and Darragh Heffernan played for the U-12’s while Bobby Dowling and Jason Carthy played for the Under 13 side. Well done lads.

We have a date for the Under 13’s Premier Shield final against Wicklow Rovers ‘A’. The game will kick off at 11.30am on Sunday, 5th Febuary at Vartry Park in Roundwood. It would be great if as many supporters as possible turned up to cheer the team in what will be a very difficult game.

Finally regards the U-13’s we must put on record our thanks to Joe Martin who was part of the coaching team for the 13’s for the past couple of seasons and who has unfortunately stepped away from the team at the start of 2017. Thanks Joe for all your efforts and commitment.

Our Under 15’s made the short trip to Enniskerry but they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat. Steven Coughlan scored a fine goal late on but two first half goals from Enniskerry proved decisive.
