NEWTOWN JUNIORS
Last week some of our teams played in some lovely sunshine, but this past weekend all games across the land were off and it was all thanks to the combination of ‘Storm Emma’ and the ‘Beast from the East’ who left the whole country blanketed in a couple of feet of snow. Hopefully the snow will have cleared for next weekend and if it does the players and coaches will all be happy.
We have two players from the club celebrating their birthday’s in the coming week and they are Colin Healy from the under-8s and Shane Synnott from the under-14s. Happy birthday Colin and Shane from everyone in Newtown Juniors F.C. Also we wish one of our under-8s coaches, Luke Hoban, a very happy birthday which he celebrated recently.
Well done to our under-9 Red team who have made it to the finals of the WDSL Futsal which will be held in Arklow on Sunday, March 18. Well done everyone involved.
All our teams are back in training. There are also a couple of slots on all our teams at the moment so if there are any girls or boys who would like to join the club please contact our secretary, Hughie, at 087 6987653 and he will provide you with all the information you will need.
Also, in a new venture by the WDSL, they have started a Girls Academy for all girls playing in the League that will also cater for girls who may not be a member of a club or a team. Training takes place for all age groups, under-10, under-12 and under-14 at East Glendalough School from 4.30pm until 6pm every Sunday evening. For further information please contact our secretary, Hughie, at 087 6987653 or hughienolan@ gmail.com.
We had 34 players still standing going into Week 5 but that number dropped by four going into the Monday Night Football between Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Week 6 fixtures will be for the weekend of Saturday 10th-Monday 12th March 2018. Many thanks everyone for your continued support. You can follow the progress of the competition on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
On a sadder note everyone in Newtown Juniors F.C. wish to extend their sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Jack Martin from O’Neill Park who sadly passed away last week. May he rest in peace.
