FAI Junior Cup First Round
Seaview Wanderers 3 Tombrack United 5
The men's first team made it through to the next round of the FAI Junior Cup after a strong first half display saw them eventually progress 5-3. Tombrack got the ideal start when they were awarded a penalty for a handball which Bob calmly dispatched to the net and they doubled their advanatage when Mick "Savo" Kelly sent a low shot past the keeper ten minutes later. The lads were well in control at this stage but Seaview did try to get back into the game and keeper Jason Maguire was called on to save a free kick twenty minutes in.
Eoin Carton scored his second on the half hour mark when he headed home a Kevin Kenny corner and shortly before half time James Coleman rounded the keeper to put the lads 4-0 ahead.
Seaview came out for the second half with more determination and pulled one back after seven minutes but ten minutes later Richie O Hara restored Tombrack's four goal advantage with a well taken goal
The home side did score twice more before the end, one a penalty, but the lads remained in control and have now booked their place in the next round.
In the first half, the whole team put in an excellent performance and played some smooth passing football on what was an excellent all weather surface in Lamberton while in the second half, Jason in the goal made two top class saves at vital points of the game while Kevin Kenny showed great maturity in midfield with Tom Hayden also working hard

B team finding life difficult in Division 4A
Men's Division Four A
Shamrock Rovers "C" 5 Tombrack United 2
Despite playing some decent football and creating some chances, our men's second team found the experience of the Rovers third string too much to handle. Jamie Walsh and Eoin Carton both found the net and while the 5-2 scoreline probably flattered Rovers, manager John Brownrigg was disappointed with the result although did credit his players with great effort

Girls Under Ten North Division
Carnew AFC 0 Tombrack United 4
Tombrack Under Ten girls made the short trip across the border into Wicklow and opened their season with a win as they overcame Carnew 4-0 with an excellent overall team performance. This was manager Martin Doyle's first game in charge of this squad and was delighted with their performance as they were always comfortably in control. Emer Roche scored one with Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave starting her season with a hat trick and with a good panel of players to select from, this time could have a very interesting season
Squad: Kayla Roche, Emily Doran Doyle, Chloe Byrne, Megan Hayes, Mikayla Tobin Cosrave, Emer Roche, Lily Peacock
Boys Under Thirteen Division Three
Tombrack United 1 Glynn Barntown 3
Despite a decent performance, our Under Thirteen boys were unlucky not to come away from this game with a least a point. Playing in difficult conditions, Tombrack were against a strong wind in the first half but were still unlucky to find themselves 2-0 down at the break. Conor O Toole pulled one back early in the second half and as Tombrack pressed forward, it looked like a draw was a strong possibility until Glynn Barntown broke away to score and wrap up all three points
Boys Under Fifteen Division Three
Enniscorthy United 4 Tombrack United 6
Our Under Fifteen boys made it two wins from two games as they came away from Neil O Sullivan Park with the three points after a ten goal thriller. Josh McMullan celebrated his call up to the Wexford Under Fifteen squad with a hat trick in this match with David Power, Harry Fitzgibbon and Barry O Toole also finding the net. It was frustrating to concede four goals but this time has an array of talent and have now scored 13 goals in two games

All Three adults teams involved in close fought games
Men's Division One
Tombrack United 1 Bridge Rovers 2
Rovers will feel fortunate to have left Ballyboy with three points after a strong second half performance from Tombrack saw them almost snatch a draw. In an evenly contested game, it was the visitors who got the breaks in the first half and led 2-0 at the break with a chip over the advancing Jason Maguire to make it 1-0 and an unfortunate own goal to make it 2-0. Tombrack came much more into the game in the second half and pulled one back when Eoin Carton headed home a Brian Hayden cross. The home side went in search of the equaliser but despite both Richie O Hara and John Coleman going close, Bridge held on for all three points and remain top of the table. While disappointed with the result, manager Joe Newe was more than happy with the effort and determination of his squad and feels with a bit of luck they could have got something from this game
Mens Division Four A
Bree United 1 Tombrack United 1
A strong performance from our second men's team saw them collect their first point of the season but feel unfortunate when that it could have been so much more. After a scoreless first half, Tombrack took the lead when Willie Power scored a spectacular long range effort from midfield, catching the Bree keeper off his line. Bree battled hard for the equaliser but found the Tombrack defence difficult to break down and it looked like our lads might have done enough to get the three points. However with minutes left, a ball ball in around the area bounced off a Tombrack defenders arm and Bree scored the resultant penalty to earn an unlikely point
Women's Divisional Shield
Courtown Hibs 0 Tombrack United 0
A dogged hard earned point in Courtown keeps Tombrack top of Group A in the Divisional Shield and are now in a good position to qualify for the knockout stages of this Shield competition. Courtown controlled long periods of the first half but found the Tombrack defence very strong and Ashling Kavanagh in the goal unbeatable. The second half performance from Tombrack was much better and we began to create chances of our own with a Sarah Merrigan free kick just grazing the crossbar and Shannon McGovern also going close. This was probably one of the more spirited performances by the women's team in recent years and they were well deserving of the point
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Lauren Byrne, Tia Byrne, Sarah Merrigan, Tammy Hennessy, Saoirse Harris (Marie Allen), Chloe Hayden Doyle, Kelli Maguire, Sharon Walsh (Katie O Toole) Shannon McGovern

New Ross Town 1 Tombrack United 3
The Under Twelve lads got off to a winning start when they travelled to New Ross Town and came away with all three points after an excellent performance.

Wexford Celtic 2 Tombrack United 5

Another point earned for our Youths
Tuesday evening saw our Youths play out a thrilling 4-4 draw with a strong Killenagh side and while manager Willie Maher was happy with a point, he was disappointed to see a two goal lead slip away.
Tombrack seemed to be always in control of this match but found a hard working visiting side difficult to shake off.
A goal from Jamie Kavanagh put our lads ahead and when Kevin Kenny slotted home a penalty midway through the half, all seemed to be going to plan and even Killenagh pulling a goal back just before the break did not cause any concern,
A goal from John Kavanagh restored Tombrack's two goal cushion but once again Killenagh kept their hopes alive with a goal and despite controlling the game, our lads were finding it difficult to secure the three points
Kevin Kenny scored off another penalty to make it 4-2 but Killenagh refused to give up and scored again to keep in touch and in injury time, they were awarded a penalty which was converted to earn a point.
While Tombrack should have won this game, credit must be given to Killenagh for their never say die effort and both sides are level at the top of division four with a win and a draw each

Under Eleven Boys
Saturday Sept 10th v Fethard Rangers (A)
Our Under Eleven boys made the long journey to Fethard with a very under strength team and put up a brave battle before going down 4-3. It was only the fact that Tombrack were slightly outnumbered that prevented them from picking up points in this match and the future looks bright for this group of players. Tombrack goals cae from Stephen O Toole (2) and one from Oran McGovern.
Under Thirteen Boys
Saturday Sept 10th v Forth Celtic B (A)
A poor first half performance saw our Under Thirteen's trail badly in this opening match of the season and although they played much better in the second half, they were unable to get back into the game. The home side started well as Tombrack never really got going and Celtic led 7-1 at the break but the lads showed great spirit in the second half and scored 4 times before eventually losing 10-5. Tombrack goals came from Colm Fortune (3) and Robert McCrea (2)
Women
Sunday Sept 11th v St Cormacs (H)
Tombrack women opened their season with a strong second half person to overcome local rivals St Cormacs 5-0 in a very windy Ballyboy this morning. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, the women held the visitors at bay and were unlucky not to go ahead themselves when Tia Byrne was unable to connect with a Sarah Merrigan corner. Tombrack took control early in the second half when player of the match Kelli Maguire scored after creating space on the edge of the area and this was closely followed by a goal from Sharon Walsh to make it 2-0. Sarah Merrigan made it 3-0 when her shot rocketed in off the post before Sharon added her second and Mary Boland wrapped up the scoring when she converted a Shannon McGovern, who was making her debut, cross to the back of the net.
This win gives Tombrack an opening win the divisional shield and gives them a strong chance of qualifying out of the group
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Boland, Lauren Byrne, Tia Byrne (Shannon MCGovern), Eimear Whelan, Tammy Hennessy, Sharon Walsh, Kelli Maguire, Mary Martin, Saoirse Harris (Chloe Hayden Doyle), Sarah Merrigan
Men's B Team
Sunday September 11th v Cloughbawn AFC "B"(H)
Despite getting an ideal start in this Division Four A match, our B team eventually went down 3-2 to a hard working and dogged Cloughbawn side. Tombrack started the game well and went ahead on ten minutes when Willie Power converted a penalty which had been awarded when a Cloughbawn defender handled the ball in the area. The home home side looked comfortable at this stage but allowed the Clonroche men back into the game and they scored three to take control of the game which was being played in very windy conditions in Ballyboy. The lads did push hard to get back into the game in the second half and were rewarded with a goal from Jamie Murphy but Cloughbawn managed to hang on for the three points

Friday Sept 2nd v Moyne Rangers (A)

Youths Div 4
Saturday Sept 3rd v Ajax Athletic (H) @ 11am
Tombrack United opened their season with an emphatic win over a decent Alax side who battled hard before eventually getting overrun by the superior firepower of the home side. In difficult weather conditions, Tombrack were dominant in the opening period of the game and took the lead through Kevin Kenny and this was followed by goals from John Kavanagh and Jack Kehoe to lead 3-0 at half time. The second half was all Tombrack with Kevin adding another 4, John scoring 1 and the youthful Josh McMullan scoring his first official goal at youth level. Although Ajax did manage a consolation goal, Tombrack were worthy 9-1 winners and have declared their intent to be serious title challengers this season. Manager Willie Maher was delighted with the win but also stated that the players must remain focused and be prepared for their next game in two weeks time. Sam Lawton and Niall Maher were excellent in this match while the back four kept the visitors well at bay

Mens First Team
Sunday September 3rd v Taghmon United (A) @ 11am
The lads made the long journey to Taghmon for what has always proven to be a difficult fixture in recent years but opened their campaign with a win and secure an important three points. With Savo (holiday) and Jamie Walsh (suspended) missing, manager Joe Newe had to make some tactical changes and in a very tight game, these changes proved to be vitally important. Kevin Kenny continued a great weekend when he scored the only goal of the game with ten minutes remaining but the home side did come in search of an equaliser and keeper Jason Maguire pulled off a great save in the dying minutes to hold on to the three points. Brian Hayden, Jon Walsh, James Coleman and Bob Newe also all put in excellent performances in this opening day win
Mens Second Team
Sunday September 3rd v St Josephs (A) @ 11am
The second team also had a difficult game away to St Josephs and had their problems made worse when the A team had to call on two of the players before travelling reducing the squad to twelve. The game was evenly contested with youth players Jack Kehoe and Jamie Kavanagh making their debut for the team with Jack slotting into a defence and put in a strong performance. St Josephs eventually took the points with a 2-0 win but our lads put in a creditable performance and will build on this performance for next week. As well as Jack, the team had good performances from Eoghan Murphy, David Kenny and David Fox
Women's Team
Sunday September 3rd v Bunclody (A) @ 11am
The Women's team played their final pre season friendly before the league kicks off next Sunday and drew 1-1 with a revamped and very strong Bunclody side. Our women controlled the opening period of the game but could not break down a resolute home defence and with twelve minutes to go to half time, Bunclody broke through to score. Tombrack opened the second half energetically and were rewarded five minutes in when Sarah Merrigan sent a twenty yard shot to the roof of the net. Both teams created chances for the remainder of the game but defences dominated with Marie Allen, Mary Boland and Chloe Hayden Doyle going close for us.
