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
