NEWTOWN JUNIORS

Unfortunately for our under-11s their game last weekend at home to Ark low United was postponed due to circumstances outside our control.

Both our under-8s and 9s played away to their respective Wicklow Rovers counterparts and both teams overcame the wintry conditions to play out some highly entertaining football.

For the 8s, Nathan Donohoe, Tyler Doyle, David McCormack and Erik Lis were to fore in their game while for the 9s among the players who shone were Nathan McMahon, Alex Ryan, Leon O’Connor and JV Kelly.

Well done to the under-8s players who stepped in to help out the under-9s after five of their squad were unavailable due to illness etc.

Our under-10s hosted St. Patricks from Avoca and the game ended all square 3-all. Pats raced into a two-goal lead but goals from Aidan Heffernan, Pat Carey and Max Roche gave the ‘Bens’ a narrow advantage at half-time.

Pats scored a third to make sure the spoils were shared.

On the day Frank Lang, Aaron Roy and Ryan Collins were among the players who starred.

For the second week in a row our 12s lost away to Rathnew as they exited the 12s/13s Challenge Cup after a 3-1 defeat. Patrick Martin scored the Newtown goal from a free kick and he along with Hannah Martin and Jack Coughlan were Newtown’s star performers.

Our under-14s had no game last weekend. Well done to Shane Synnott from our under-14s who was part of the WDSL squad who played Kilkenny in the Inter League competition. The game took place in Arklow (Lamberton).
