NEWTOWN UNITED
All our SSG teams were in action last weekend and all the teams performed very well.
The Under-8s hosted Wicklow Rovers White where Albie Chance, David McCormack and Aaron Nolan all scored goals in a very good contest.
The Under-9s travelled to play Wicklow Town and just edged the home side by four goals to three. Aidan Heffernan (3) and Frank Lang scored the goals while William Valentine and Sebastian were among the players who starred.
The Under-10s won 7-0 at home to a gallant Glencormac team where the goals came from Mason Melia (3), Cormac Chance (2), Matthew Doyle and Evan Fahey. Among the players who starred were Dylan Dunleavy and Jack Daly.
The Under-11s produced their best all round team display of the season and a first clean sheet with a 6-nil home win over Avonmore Yellow.
There were six different goalscorers and another player who reached the milestone of scoring his first ever goal, namely Martin Reinhardt. Well done, Martin.
The other goals came from Aaron Cawley, Mason Melia, Ryan McMahon, Keira Farrelly and Jack Coughlan.
Congratulations to two of our Under-15s team i.e. Josh Odlum and Andrew Waters who have been selected for the WDSL Kennedy Cup Squad that will be played in Limerick later on this summer.
They follow in a long line of star players from the club who represented the WDSL down the years.
