NEWTOWN JUNIORS FC

There were no WDSL fixtures last weekend as it was Easter. Four of our teams did take part in the Wicklow Cancer Support competitio­n that took place on Good Friday in the Wicklow Townand Wicklow Rovers grounds. The teams that took part were our under-eights, 10’s, 11’s and 14’s and every player on those teams played to their best of their ability and enjoyed what was a well run competitio­n by Tony Doran and his hard working group of helpers. Also in action from the club were Newtown Juniors FC players Hannah Martin, who captained the WDSL under-12 girls Academy team and Jack Coughlan, who was playing with the under-12 county squad. Well done, everyone.

The following are the fixtures for Thursday, March 5, to Sunday, March 8. under-14s at home to Glencormac Utd ko Thursday at 6.45 p.m. (Interim Final second Leg); under-eights away to Rathnew ko to be confirmed; under-nines at home to St Patrick’s ko Saturday at 11 a.m.; under-10s at home to Wicklow Rovers Blue ko Saturday at midday; under-11s – Fixture to be confirmed; under-12s away to Greystones B ko to be confirmed; under-14s away to Rathnew FC ko to be confirmed (Fixtures and ko times are subject to change)

We had 29 Players still standing going into week seven but that number dropped by two to 27 Players thanks to the Watford vs Bournemout­h game ending in a 2-all draw which included the winners of our last competitio­n JP and Sorcha. Week eight Fixtures will be for next weekend of Sat.7th-Sun. April 8. You can follow the progress of the competitio­n on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

The WDSL Fundraiser ‘The Kube’ will take place in the Parkview Hotel on Saturday, April 7. We have two participan­ts namely John Dunleavy and Stephen Nolan, who will both be raising funds for our club through this event. If you can sponsor either John or Stephen for any amount no matter how small please contact any committee member for further informatio­n. Tickets to the event are €20 each but we have a number of tickets for sale at €10 per head which are on sale at a first come first served basis. Please support as all money raised will go back towards the youth of the area.

The club would like to extend their deepest condolence­s to the family and friends of Charlie Gray from Bray, who sadly passed away last week. Charlie apart from been a gentleman was a referee for years in the Wicklow and District Schoolboys/Girls League. May he rest in peace.
