Under Eleven Schoolboys
Caim United v Tombrack United
We are not allowed to publish the score line for these matches but Assistant Manager Angela Tompkins was more than delighted with her teams performance away to a hard working enthusiastic Caim side. Rian, Eoin, Jimmy, Adam and Jack all performed well in this game
Under Thirteen Schoolboys
Tombrack United 5 Cushinstown AFC 0
Another stand in manager David O Keefe was in charge of the Under Thirteen boys and was over the moon with the performance in this 5-0 win over Cushinstown. Conor Dilllon, Robert McCrea, Darragh Breen, Danny Dreelan were all on target with a Cushinstown defender making up the total. This was an impressive performance by the home team and gives them their first win of the season
Under Fifteen Schoolboys
Tombrack United 1 Glynn Barntown 2
Our under fifteens will feel very unfortunate not to have grabbed at least a point from this game as they produced a hard working performance against a decent Glynn Barntown side. Evan Maher gave Tombrack a first half lead but despite being in control for long periods of the second half, they could not increase their advantage and the visitors capitalized to score twice and take all three points
Youths Division Three
Wexford Celtic 3 Tombrack United 5
Our youths side remain unbeaten and well in contention in this division after this 5-3 win away to Wexford Celtic. Tombrack always looked comfortable despite the closeness of the score line with Kevin Kenny scoring three, Harry Fitzgibbon and Haseeb Yasin adding a goal each. This moves the lads to within two points of the top and unbeaten after three games
LFA Junior Cup First Round
Crossabeg AFC 1 Tombrack United 4
After a difficult start to life in the Premier Division, the lads got a break from league action and travelled to Crossabeg for the first round of the Leinster Junior Cup. The home side played some decent football but were unable to match the intensity of the Tombrack lads who led 3-1 at the break thanks to goals from Richie O Hara, James Coleman and Bob Newe. The second half was much tighter but Mick Kelly scored to consolidate a comfortable 4-1 win and a place in the second round draw
Wexford Football League Division Four A
Tombrack United 3 Wexford Celtic 0
Our second team finally got their first points on the board after a very good performance saw them overcome Wexford Celtic 3-0. After a scoreless first half, John Ryan scored a hat trick to give the lads all three points, a win that moves them away from the bottom

Under Fourteens earn point in six goal thriller
Schoolboys Under Fourteen Division Three
Ferns United 3 Tombrack United 3
Our under fourteen boys earned their first point of the season with a last minute penalty in this thrilling local derby in clone. Tombrack led 1-0 at the break thanks to a goal from Colm Fortune but although he scored again in the second half, the home side were sharper and led three two with just moments left. However there was drama in the dying seconds when Tombrack were awarded a penalty and Conor O Toole kept his nerve to slot to the net and earn our lads a well deserved point

Schoolboys Under Sixteen Division Four
Enniscorthy United 6 Tombrack United 1
This game was much closer than the scoreline suggests with Tombrack trailing just 2-1 at the break with Harry Fitzgibbon scoring. However the second half was all Enniscorthy and they capitalized on some poor defending to score four more and run out flattering 6-1 winners

Wexford Football League Premier Division
Shamrock Rovers 5 Tombrack United 2
The men's first team completed their opening three games against the top three when they travelled to Enniscorthy to take on Shamrock Rovers. The home side enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and led 2-0 at the break. Two further quick goals early in the second half had Tombrack in trouble but this team is growing in character every week and showed it as goals from James Coleman and Eoghan Murphy brought the game back to 4-2. Rovers did score late in the game to win 5-2 and move to the top of the table. This game also saw the return of Paul Darcy to the goal and showed some of his old form by pulling off some vital saves. The lads now take on Crossabeg AFC in the LFA Junior Cup on Sunday 24th

Wexford Football League Division Four A
Tombrack United 0 Wexford Albion 1
The men's second team would not have been flattered to be 4-0 up after 20 minutes in this game but wasted those chances and went in at the break still scoreless. Albion upped their game in the second half and applied pressure but found Conor Kehoe in the goal difficult to beat until seven minutes from the end, a defensive error allowed them through and Conor could do little to stop the well placed strike. Tombrack will feel unfortunate not to have grabbed at least a point but a bit more sharpness in front of goal could have seen them take all three

Great win for Youths
Under Thirteen Schoolboys Division Three A
Tombrack United 1 Forth Celtic B 4
Our Under Thirteen boys opened their season with a disappointing performance as they never got up to speed against an eager Forth Celtic side. Rob McCrea scored for goal for Tombrack but it was only a consolation as Forth ran out 4-1 winners
Under Fifteen Schoolboys Division Division Three
Tombrack United 2 Gorey Celtic B 5
This match was much closer than the scoreline suggests but it was Celtic's ability to find the net was the main difference between the two sides. Evan Maher scored both goals for the home side who played well in periods of the game before eventually going down 5-2
Youths Division Three
Tombrack United 5 Bree United 1
The Youths team remainded unbeaten and in touch with the leaders after this emphatic 5-1 victory over Bree United. Kevin Kenny was in flying form and scored four while Josh McMullan celebrated his call up to the Wexford Under Sixteen squad with a goal. The Youths have opened their season with a win and a draw and are looking like a side capable of contesting for a top half finish in this division
Wexford Football League Premier Division
Tombrack United 1 Gorey Rangers 2
After last weeks heroics against North End, it was interesting to see how the lads would fare out in this game against another of the favourites for the title, and the answer was quite simple, the team have shown they are capable of competing at this level. Early in the game, keeper Eoghan Murphy was called on to make a save from a long range effort but other than the game was equally contested with both sides cancelling each other out. Just on the half hour mark, Tombrack had the ball in the net from a corner only for it to be disallowed for impeding the keeper and four minutes later, Rangers went ahead when a direct through ball found its way beyond the home side defence and the the incoming Gorey player fired to the net.
The second half reaction from Tombrack was excellent and ten minutes into the half, they were level when Eoin Carton used his power and strength to hammer the ball past the keeper for Tombrack's first goal at Premier level. Fifteen minutes later it could have been 2-1 when Savo broke through and did everything right but the keeper saved superbly. Rangers also had their chance at the other end but although the ball went by the keeper, Kevin Kenny was on hand to clear off the line
Once again the game settled into a tentative affair and looked to be heading for a draw until three minutes from the end, Tombrack were unable to get the ball clear of the area and Gorey fired the ball into the bottom corner. Eight minutes injury time was added but although the home side did all they could, they were unable to find that elusive equaliser.
This was definitely a positive display by the home side but will need to keep building on these performances as they now move on to play Shamrock Rovers next Sunday
Wexford Football League Division Four A
Campile United 4 Tombrack United 0
The men's second team travelled to Campile but never really got going and struggled to come to grips with the game as they were beaten 4-0 by a well organised home side. The lads did create chances but found the home defence difficult to break down and will need to get themselves back on track for next week if they want to get themselves into the promotion hunt
Women's Pre Season Friendly
Ajax Athletic 0 Tombrack United 8
A seventeen strong squad travelled to Ajax for the Women's second pre season friendly and the management team used the opportunity to try out some new formations and give some of the newer players more game time. Goals from Shannon Mcgovern and Mary Boland had Tombrack 2-0 up at half time and the second half saw the women take control as goals followed from a Becky Connaughton free kick, a Sarah Merrigan penalty, an own goal when a defender deflected to the net under pressure from Aimee Walsh. This was followed by a Becky Connaughton corner being deflected to the net for 6-0 before Leanne Kenny shot to the roof of the net while Shannon rounded off the scoring as she found space in the penalty area to shoot past the keeper. An overall good performance with players putting in a great effort with Kelly Murphy and Hannah Kilbride making impressive debuts
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Tia Byrne, Eimear Whelan, Breda Cushen, Kelli Maguire, Sarah Merrigan, Mary Boland, Katie O Toole, Shannon McGovern, Marie Allen, Sharon Walsh, Kelly Murphy, Becky Connaughton, Leanne Kenny, Aimee Walsh, Hannah Kilbride

A new season begins
Schoolboys Under Ten
Bree United v Tombrack United
Our youngest boys team travelled to Bree on Saturday and were involved in a high scoring, fun filled entertaining thriller with some excellent performances from the stars of the future. Under the management of Bridget Kenny and her new Assistant Angela Tomkins, the team had great performances from Jack Sheridan, Eoin Tomkins, Oisin Regan, Padraig Kenny, DJ McGovern and Conor McDermott who was making his debut
Schoolboys Under Twelve
Campile United 7 Tombrack United 0
A slightly understrength Under Twelve team travelled to Campile and put in an excellent performance where the seven goal margin does not do the team justice. William Wilson was outstanding out the field for the lads while Leanne Walsh put in a strong performance in the goal.
Schoolboys Under Fourteen
Forth Celtic 7 Tombrack United 0
This team has the ability to do very well in this division but unfortunately this game was not one of those days and everything that could go wrong, did and Forth Celtic ran out flattering but comfortable 7-0 winners. The lads were punished for every mistake and were much closer to the home side than the scoreline suggests
Youths Division Three
Ballagh United 1 Tombrack United 1
A new look Youths side opened the season with a hard earned draw against a dogged home side who scored after five minutes to take the lead. Tombrack battled hard to get back into the game and were rewarded five minutes before half time when David Power scored the goal that eventually earned the lads a point. Good performances from goal scorer Power, Kevin Kenny and new signing Mikey Roche
Men's Premier Division
Tombrack United 0 North End United 4
History was made in Tombrack on Sunday morning when the lads kicked off in the Wexford League Premier Division for the first time in the club's history and the opponents could not come any tougher than last seasons double winners North End. Ultimately it was the visitors experience that proved to be the difference between the teams but the home side had their chances and at times, did manage their much more illustrious opponents. Although North End enjoyed good possession, they were unable to penetrate a determined and hard working Tombrack defence and their best chance early in the game came from a free kick that was well saved by Eoghan Murphy. James Coleman and Darragh Hendrick were outstanding in midfield throughout the game but it was Mick "Savo" Kelly who went closest in the first half when he brought an outstanding save from Lee Walker. On thirty minutes, North End got the break when a stretched defence allowed the visitors through and Jay Murphy kept a calm head to slot the ball under Eoghan Murphy. Six minutes later a long clearance from Walker deceived defenders and keeper and the chasing Kyle Dempsey found himself clear in front of an empty goal.
The second half saw Tombrack continue to work hard and restricted the visitors chances and were unlucky not to pull one back when Carton crossed to Savo who once again brought a good save from the experienced North End keeper. The visitors killed off the game on seventy five minutes when Kyle Dempsey fired home from outside the box but Tombrack kept coming forward and Richie O Hara could have scored twice, seeing one long range effort headed off the line and a second opportunity where he could not dig the ball from under his feet when through in space. Bob Newe also went close before North End had the final say with probably the best worked goal of the game when Shane Dempsey fired home with seven minutes remaining
Overall, manager Joe Newe was disappointed with the mistakes and feels his side are conceding far too many goals but was very happy with the character shown by the whole squad in what could have been potentially a very tricky encounter.
Every player played their part in this game but Darragh Hendrick, James Coleman and Bob Newe were all excellent on the day
Next Sunday will see another of the Premier title challenger, Gorey Rangers, come to Tombrack and the club were delighted such great numbers turn out for this morning's game and hopefully will see you all there next Sunday again
Squad: Eoghan Murphy, Rory Newe, Dane McGarry, Bob Newe, Brian Hayden, Kevin Coleman (Richie O Hara), Darragh Hendrick, Kevin Coleman, Kevin Kenny (Tom Hayden) (Steven Ryan), Eoin Carton (John Coleman), Mick Kelly
Mens Division Four A
Tombrack United "B" 3 Enniscorthy United "B" 5
These two sides produced an open game of football before the visitors left with all three points as they came out on top in this eight goal thriller. Tombrack opened the scoring when Eoghan Murphy found the net after twenty minutes but eight minutes later, the vistors were back on level terms when a well struck shot gave Jason Watchorn in the goal no chance. The opening five minutes of the second half were disastrous for the home side as Enniscorthy scored twice to cruise into a 3-1 lead. However, Tombrack worked hard and quickly pulled one back when a Steven Ryan effort caused a mix up between the keeper and defender and the ball found its way to the net and the home side were back level a few minutes later when Eoghan Murphy headed to the net. Five minutes later, Enniscorthy were back in front when their centre forward fired low to the net and this time defended strongly to keep the home side at bay and scored late in the game to wrap up the three points.
There was little to criticise about the performance of the team and can still be among the challengers in this division but will need to cut down on conceding so many goals

Final Match Reports for 2016-17
Friday May 19th
Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Premier Division
Tombrack United 1 Bunclody AFC 0
Our Under Sixteen girls were already league champions heading into this game but still put in a top class performance to overcome Bunclody 1-0 courtesy of a Shannon McGovern goal midway through the first half. The girls had enjoyed the better possession throughout and hit the crossbar twice early on while the defence dealt with anything the visitors threw at them. While the final scoreline was 1-0, Tombrack never looked in trouble and were presented with their league trophy by League Administrator Peter Doyle to spark off an evening of mad celebrations. Well done to Sean, Bridget and Pat and of course, all the players on a fantastic achievement
Saturday May 20th
Under Eighteen Sevens Play Off Semi Final
St Leonards 0 Tombrack United 2
As far as draws go, our girls got the worst possible as they were drawn away in this play off semi final and made the long journey to play St Leonards in Ballycullane. However, this did not seem to deter our girls as they put in probably their best performance of the season as they took control of this game and ran out 2-0 winners, scoring a goal in each half. Shannon McGovern scored in the first half and Becky Connaughton wrapped it up with a goal in the second half
Sunday May 21st
Mens Premier Division Promotion Play Off
Tombrack United 1 Rosslare Rangers 1 aet
(Tombrack won 3-0 on penalties)
Arguably the biggest result in the history of the club saw our men wrap up a great season by attaing promotion to the premier division courtesy of a penalty shoot out over Rosslare Rangers in Ferrycarrig Park. In an evenly contested first half, Tombrack were dealt a blow early on when keeper Paul Darcy had to go off injured with Eoghan Murphy taking over in goal. Just after the half hour mark, Rosslare got the break through when they broke down the wing and fired an unstoppable shot to the back of the net. Tombrack came in search of an equaliser and went close through James Coleman, Mick "Savo" Kelly and Richie O Hara but it looked like the game was slipping away as it headed into injury time. However, a hand ball from a corner saw the lads awarded a penalty and Bob Newe stepped up and showed great composure to slot home the penalty. No goals in extra time saw the game go to penalties where the lads held their nerve to progress to the Premier division for the first time ever with Kevin Coleman, Rory Newe and James Coleman scoring in the 3-0 win. Well done to Joe, Willie and all the lads on what was a remarkable achievement and well deserved
Saturday May 27th
Under Eighteen Sevens Play Off Final
Tombrack United 1 Bree United 1 aet
(Tombrack won 4-2 on penalties)
The final game of the season saw our Eighteen girls wrap the Seven a Side league title after a penalty shoot out win in very difficult weather conditions in Ballyboy. In a game that was always going to be very tight, defences dominated in the first half although Tombrack would have enjoyed the better chances. The home side got the break through in the second half when they were awarded a penalty and Becky Connaughton slotted the ball to the net, however the lead was shortlived as Bree enjoyed their best spell in the game and were quickly back on level terms with a well taken goal just a few minutes later. No further goals saw the game go to extra time and then penalties where Becky, Breda Cushen, Amie Dreelan and Nicola Ryan all scored to give our girls a 4-2 win. Well done to Pat, Sean and all involved for what was a fantastic season and are well deserved league champions

Men go down in high scoring thriller
Under Twelve Schoolboys Division Three
Forth Celtic 4 Tombrack United 1
Our Under Twelve boys completed their season on Saturday in a game where they controlled the first half but Forth took control of the second. Stephen O Toole had Tombrack 1-0 ahead at the break but Forth bounced back to run out 4-1 winners despite our lads putting in a hard working performance. This team put in an excellent performance all season and deserved to finish higher than their final position of fifth suggests and are a credit to their management of Bob and David. Well done to all
Mens Division One
Tombrack United 5 Corach Ramblers 6
Probably one of the craziest games to be played in Ballyboy since the pitch was opened with the league winners eventually going home with all three points after a late penalty saw them come out on top in an eleven goal thriller. First Tombrack led 3-0, then went 5-3 behind before coming back to 5-5 with Ramblers having the final say to take victory. Matthew Hendrick scored two with Rory Newe, Mick "Savo" Kelly and Eoin Carton all scored for Tombrack and the lads now travel to Ferrycarrig Park next Sunday to take on Rosslare Rangers in the Premier Division play off with kick off at 10-30am. Best of luck to Joe, Willie and all the lads
Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Premier One
This week also saw our Under Sixteen girls crowned Premier champions after Cloughbawn failed to fulfil their fixture against Shelburne and forfeited any mathematical chance they had of catching our girls to force a play off. Despite the league eventually being won due to a walkover, it must be remembered that Tombrack beat Cloughbawn twice in the league so are well worthy of their title and will be presented with their trophy at their final league match against Bunclody which is provisionally pencilled in for next Friday. Well done to Sean, Bridget and all the girls
Forth Celtic 4 Tombrack United 1

Divisional Awards for Kevin and Mary
Under Fourteen Division Two A
Seaview United 7 Tombrack United 0
Our Under Fourteen girls travelled to Duncannon on Saturday afternoon but were unable to prevent the home side from moving to the top of the table. The game was much closer than the 7 goal margin might suggest and our girls now have one game remaining at home to Gorey Rangers and a win will see them finish third in the table
Men's Division One
Wexford Bohs 3 Tombrack United 3
Our lads continued their recent good form when they picked up a point away to Wexford Bohs as they prepare for their play off game in the coming weeks. James Coleman, Kevin Coleman and Kevin Kenny were all on target in this well deserved draw
Divisional Player of the Year Awards
Two Tombrack players received good news this week when Kevin Kenny collected the Youth Division Four player of the year award and a few days later Mary Boland was announced as the Women's Division Three player of the year. Congratulations to both on these well deserved awards, Kevin will be presented with his on Friday May 25th in Ballinaboola while Mary will receive her award at a function in the IFA Centre, Enniscorthy on Friday June 9th.
Congratulations to both on these well deserved awards
Seaview United 7 Tombrack United 0
Our Under Fourteen girls travelled to Duncannon on Saturday afternoon but were unable to prevent the home side from moving to the top of the table. The game was much closer than the 7 goal margin might suggest and our girls now have one game remaining at home to Gorey Rangers and a win will see them finish third in the table
Men's Division One
Wexford Bohs 3 Tombrack United 3
Our lads continued their recent good form when they picked up a point away to Wexford Bohs as they prepare for their play off game in the coming weeks. James Coleman, Kevin Coleman and Kevin Kenny were all on target in this well deserved draw
