One of the busiest days for the club saw eight teams in action with four at home and four away.
Under Nine Schoolboys Blitz
Our youngest team headed to Gorey Celtic this morning for the second of the non competitive blitz's organised by the league and once again the squad gave a very good account of themselves. Results are not important at this age group but this group of players are producing some excellent football and the future of the club is in good hands
Under Eleven Boys
Tombrack United 4 Camolin Celtic 3
Manager Daragh Hendrick breathed a sigh of relief when this game ended as he experienced all the pressures of management as his young squad raced into a 3-0 lead, get pegged back to 3-3 before eventually running out 4-3 winners. After dominating the first half, the lads led 3-0 at the break thanks to a goal from Conor Dillon and a double from Danny Dreelan. Camolin came out strong in the second half and were back to 3-2 after two minutes and levelled midway through the half. Good goalkeeping from William Wilson and strong defending Pierce Murphy and Cathal Byrne kept us in the game and minutes before the end, Stephen O Toole scored an excellent free kick to give our Under Elevens a hard earned three points. Oran McGovern and sub Luke Regan both worked very hard for the side who showed great character to get a victory when it looked like the three points were lost
Under Thirteen Boys
Tombrack United 3 Corach Ramblers 1
"Some of the best football played in a long time" was how manager Bob Newe described this victory for the Under Thirteen side over Corach Ramblers. Playing some excellent attacking football, the lads looked very comfortable passing the ball around and never allowed Ramblers to settle into this game.
Goals from Conor O Toole, Pierce Murphy and Conor Salt gave the Thirteens their first win of the season against a Corach side who had won and drew their opening two games
Under Fifteen Boys
Kilmore United 4 Tombrack United 2
These two sides had won their opening two games of the season and this game was always going to be a very tight and hard fought battle. Kilmore enjoyed the opening stages of the match as our lads found it difficult to settle and the home side looked to be more comfortable on the ball and always in control of the match. Josh McMullan and Padraic Kinsella were on target for Tombrack who are still second in the table and will be looking forward to when Kilmore visit in the new year and will be confident of reversing this result
Youths Boys
LFA Youth Cup
Parkville United 4 Tombrack United 2
Our Youths side travelled to Tullow to take on Carlow League side Parkville in the Leinster Cup and were unlucky to go down 4-2 to a very talented home side. A poor first half performance proved costly for our lads and allowed the home side a 2-0 lead before they got themselves into the game and pulled one back through John Kavanagh just before the break. Kieran Kenny made it 2-2 early in the second half as the game settled into a dogged battle with both sides looking for the break which eventually came for the home side when they scored on 75 minutes. Tombrack went in search of the equaliser but Parkville defended well and deep in injury time, they broke away to score and make it 4-2.
Under Ten Girls
Tombrack United 4 Courtown Hibs 2
Our talented Under Ten girls side made it two wins from two games when they overcame Courtown Hibs 4-2 in an end to end exciting encounter which kept the large crowd well entertained. Hibs took the lead early in the game before Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave scored a great individual goal to level the game up but Hibs scored again just before half time to lead 2-1. Our girls played much better in the second half and levelled through Kate Tomkins before Mikayla added two more to give Tombrack a well deserved 4-2 win. This was an excellent overall team performance with keeper Eabha Guinan showing great confidence as did Emer Roche who was unlucky not to score when her shot came back off the post. Well done to Martin, Rebecca and all the girls
Squad: Eabha Guinan, Chloe Byrne, Kayla Roche, Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave, Megan Hayes, Emer Roche, Emily Doran Doyle, Ciara Kenny, Erin Tobin, Kate Tomkins, Lara Murphy, Marita McCrea, Rachel McCrea, Lily Peacock, Jenna Campbell Scully
Under Fourteen Girls
North End United 5 Tombrack United 2
Our young Under Fourteen side travelled to North End United and put up a good battling display before the home side eventually ran out 5-2 winners. Shauna McGovern and Kate Butler scored for our girls with only the ability of the home team to take their chances the difference between these two sides
Under Eighteen Girls (Seven a Side)
Tombrack United 0 Bree United 2
The new experimental seven a side league kicked off on Saturday morning and our very young side found the strong physical Bree side hard to handle. Despite this, our girls played well, putting in a good skillful passing performance and can look forward to their next game in two weeks time
