NEWTOWN JUNIORS
Lots of great action last weekend to go with some fine, sunny weather. Pride of place goes to our Under 13’s who have qualified for the Under 13 Premier Cup final after a 3-2 win away to Aughrim Rangers to leave our team the winners on an aggregate score of 5-3.
On the day the goals came from Martin Kelly (2) and Bobby Dowling. These were Martin’s first goals of the season so he picked the perfect time to hit the net. The whole team played well but special mention to goalkeeper Ryan Clarke who pulled of some very good saves. The day had got off to a bad start when midfielder Luke Breen sustained a leg injury while out playing. We wish Luke a speedy recovery. The Under 8’s travelled to Kilcoole to take on St. Anthonys and enjoyed a close game where David, Leighton and Oisin were among the players to hit the net. The Under 9’s enjoyed a close game with Wicklow Rovers White where Luke Turley, William Valentine and Sebastian found the net.
Among those who starred were Mikey Synnott, Frank Lang and Dylan Dunleavy.
The 10’s hosted Rathnew in glorious sunshine and came out on the right end of a 6-2 scoreline.
Jack Daly led the way with a hat trick, Cormac Chance scored twice and there was also a goal for Mason Melia.
On the day among those who starred were Naoise Lowe and PJ Duffy.
