Volkswagon Wexford Cup Second Round
North End United "B" 1 Tombrack United 1 aet
(Tombrack won 4-3 on penalties)
Our lads are through to the third round of the Wexford Cup after they had to go all the way to a penalty shoot out to progress. There was never much between the sides and it was Tombrack who took the lead when Jamie Walsh shot to the net after some good possession but in the second half, the home side were awarded a penalty, which they scored, to bring the game to extra time. Tombrack had to play out the game with ten men as JJ got sent off in controversial circumstances but the lads dug in and when the game went to penalties, they held their nerve to go through to the last thirty two.
Men's Division Four A
Boolavogue United 4 Tombrack United 2
With three games to go in the league, our men's second team have given themselves an uphill battle to get promoted after this 4-2 defeat to Boolavogue. The two sides were just outside the top three going into this game but its the home side who have the advantage while our lads will probably need to win all three remaining games to have a chance of promotion. After a scoreless first half, Boolavogue went two up early in the second but Tombrack battled back onto level terms thanks to a goal from Jamie Murphy plus an own goal. However, as the game moved towards a finish, it was Boolavogue who got the breaks and scored two goals in the final ten minutes to take all three points.
Women's Division Three
Tombrack United 1 Bridge Rovers 0
The women have moved to within a point of clinching the title after they eventually broke down a very determined Bridge Rovers side in very difficult conditions. Rovers could have scored first only for a great save from Ashling Kavanagh and for most of the first half, the visitors enjoyed the better of the possession without really going close. Tombrack were much more focussed in the second half and went close when Chloe Hayden Doyle headed just wide after Katie O Toole had crossed while Tia Byrne brought a great save from the keeper with a well struck free kick which was pushed onto the crossbar. Breda Cushen eventually broke the deadlock with twenty minutes to go when she found space twenty five yards out to shoot to the bottom corner of the net. This proved to be the only goal of a very tight game and with three games to go, the women now just need a point to wrap up the title
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Saoirse Harris, Eimear Whelan, Tia Byrne, Kelli Maguire, Marie Allen, Mary Boland, Breda Cushen, Katie O Toole (Leanne Kenny), Chloe Hayden Doyle (Tammy Hennessy) Sharon Walsh

Reports 28/01/2017
Under Nine Schoolboys
Our youngest squad of players returned to action today with a blitz in Courtown Hibs and as usual our lads put in an inspiring and skilful display while enjoying their day down near the coast. Well done to Bridget and her management and all the squad
Under Eleven Schoolboys
Tombrack United v Fethard Rangers
The Under Eleven league is now also non competitive so scores cannot be published from now on but this morning our lads played a very close game with Fethard Rangers. Our goals were scored by Conor Dillon and a long range effort from Luke Regan
Under Twelve Schoolgirls Division Two B
Wexford Youths 5 Tombrack United 2
Our Under Twelve girls put in a brave display against Wexford Youths before eventually going down 5-2. This young squad of ours are finding life difficult in this division but fielding teams every week and improving with every game. Ana Dragusan continued her good scoring form with two goals in this game
Under Thirteen Schoolboys Division Three
Glynn Barntown 1 Tombrack United 2
The Under Thirteen boys travelled to the Racecourse in Wexford and came away with all three points despite getting off to a horrible start, conceding after just five minutes. However, they battled back and equalised through Conor Salt just before half time and then Rashid Ashad scored to put us in front and our lads controlled the remainder of the game to hold on for the three points
Under Fifteen Schoolboys Division Three
Tombrack United 0 Kilmore United 1
This top of the table clash was very evenly contested and like all games of this nature, produced very few chances on either side. Our lads needed to win to stay in contention for the title and had to press that bit harder while league leaders Kilmore would probably have been happy with a draw and as usually happens in this case, we got caught on the break and Kilmore scored to take all three points. This defeat effectively kills off our chances of taking the title but the race is still on for second place
Youths Division Four
Killenagh Wan 2 Tombrack United 4
Our Youths produced one of their performances of the season to take three points away from Killenagh and keep their chances of taking the league title alive. Tombrack were always in control although Killenagh never gave up and kept in touch all the way to the end but our lads eventually came away with an invaluable three points. Goals from John Kavanagh, Jack Kehoe, Kevin Kenny and an own goal saw Tombrack leapfrog Killenagh into second place and just behind Camolin with two games to go

Three closely fought matches
Men's Division One
Forth Celtic 2 Tombrack United 3
No matter where the lads finish in this division, this win in Forth Celtic will go down as a landmark victory as this is one of the toughest venues in the county to get a result. The game was competitive from the word go and very little between the sides and when it was locked at 2-2 with minutes to go, it looked as if this was to be a hard earned away point. James Coleman and Eoin Carton had scored for Tombrack but in the dying minutes, Kevin Coleman crossed into the box and Eoin scored his second of the game as it rocketed off a defender into the back of the net. This win was no more than Tombrack deserved as they use their games in hand to pull themselves clear of relegation trouble and keep alive the dreams of promotion to the premier division
Men's Division Four A
Taghmon United 2 Tombrack United 1
This game was a catalogue of disasters from the start as our lads and the referee turned up for an 11am kick off that had been changed to 1pm without being notified. Tombrack were given the option of going home but decided to stay and get the fixture played and found themselves a goal down when the game eventually did kick off. Five minutes into the second half Eoghan Murphy brought the sides level and Tombrack had several chances to take the lead but squandered them and paid the ultimate price fifteen minutes from the end when Taghmon scored to take all three points. This loss could prove critical for Tombrack but they have a chance to bounce back with another important match away to Boolavogue next Sunday
MMI.ie Wexford Women's Cup Second Round
Tombrack United 3 St Josephs 4
The women bowed out of the cup after a seven goal thriller against Division Two A which was the teams first defeat in ten games. A poor first half saw the women fall 2-0 behind after some rare errors in defence but a Mary Boland goal managed to pull Tombrack back into the game just before half time. St Josephs strong point is their ability to finish and within fifteen minutes of the second half, they scored twice and seemed to be cruising through to a quarter final meeting with Fastnet. However, Breda Cushen came on as a sub and scored her first senior goal for the team, followed minutes later by another Mary Boland goal and it was game on. However, St Josephs used their vast experience to slow the game down and although Tombrack did go close before the end, the visitors held on for victory
**One bit of good news for the women was closest challengers for the league, Stoney LFC, were surprisingly beaten 1-0 by Cushinstown and moves Tombrack one step closer to the title**
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh (Katie O Toole), Mary Martin, Saoirse Harris, Eimear Whelan, Tia Byrne, Sarah Merrigan, Marie Allen, Kelli Maguire, Mary Boland, Sharon Walsh (Breda Cushen), Leanne Kenny (Shannon McGovern), Chloe Hayden Doyle

Good day for girls in cups
Under Ten Schoolgirls Cup Second
Tombrack United 1 All Blacks 1 (After extra time)
(Tombrack won 4-3 on penalties)
Our Under Ten girls progressed to the last eight of the cup after a thrilling victory over a well organised All Blacks side that went all the way to penalties to decide a winner. A thrilling first half saw both sides cancel each other out with both goalkeepers well in control of their areas with Eabha Guinan in the home goal playing particularly well. Tombrack started the better in the second half but as happens in these situations, All Blacks took the lead with a well taken goal from Naomi Denton. However, Tombrack were not behind for long and a well struck shot from Erin Tobin found the corner of the net to bring the sides back level. Tombrack continued to push for a winner with Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave, Megan Hayes and Eimear Roche all going close while Eabha in the goal as well as Chloe Byrne were busy in the defence keeping All Blacks at bay. No further goals saw the game going to extra time and eventually to penalties which went to sudden death before Eadha saved All Blacks seventh penalty to give our girls 4-3 victory.
Well done to Martin, Rebecca and the team on this great performance and now hope for a home draw in the last eight
Under Twelve Schoolboys Division Three
Tombrack United 1 New Ross Town 1
Our Under Twelve boys are still in contention for at least promotion after this 1-1 draw in what is proving to be a very tight and closely contested division. The lads started well in this game and their attacking style of football saw them pressing the Town defence back and on ten minutes were rewarded when Danny Dreelan fired a shot to the back of the net for a deserved lead. New Ross did press forward in search of an equaliser but found the home defence difficult to break down with Daire Moynihan playing exceptionally well in the Tombrack goal. New Ross eventually equalised when a full stretch save from Daire fell to an incoming forward and the ball ended up in the back of the net. The second half was all Tombrack but just could not find the goal to give them the three points and while I sometimes slag Bob about his "total football", the future of the club is in good hands if the standard of play from these players today is anything to go by. They deserved all three points but on the day that didn't happen and are still in contention for honours in a very close division
Under Fourteen Schoolgirls Cup Second Round
Tombrack United 6 Bree United 0
Our Under Fourteen girls have booked their place in the last eight of the cup after this comfortable win over a Bree side who defended strongly for the opening phase of the game but once the first goal was conceded, Tombrack were always in control. Nadine Fortune continued her good scoring form by knocking in four while Zoe Tobin Cosgrave and Shauna McGovern also found the net to book their place in the quarter finals and with three of the five Premier teams already knocked out of the cup, the dream of getting to another final remains alive. Well done to Pat, Martina and the girls
Under Fourteen Schoolboys Division Three
Newpark United 5 Tombrack United 3
The last time these two sides met, Newpark ran out comfortable 7-1 winners but this game was very different and the home side did not have it all their own way this time around. Newpark are locked in a battle for the title with Ballymurn Celtic but were never going to find this local derby and manager Willie Maher was delighted with the effort put in by his players. William Kenny, Adam Jeffers and Evan Maher were all on target for our hard working Under Fourteen squad who have had a decent season and will finish a respectable midtable and now have only one league match remaining. Another group of players who have done the club proud and have a great future ahead of them

Tombrack United 3 Gorey Celtic 7

Under Thirteen Cup First Round
Tombrack United 0 Wexford Albion 7

Under Fifteen Cup First Round
Tombrack United 2 Cloughbawn AFC 5
It was late in the game before Cloughbawn eventually got the upperhand of this game and were well in contention until midway through the second half. David Power and Josh McMullan were on target for Tombrack and they now can concentrate on their league run in where they are still in contention for the Division Three title
Ger Dunne Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Cup First Round
Bunclody AFC 1 Tombrack United 0
A below par performance in the first half from Tombrack saw Bunclody take an early lead in this high profile Under Sixteen cup game.

Wexford Youths Cup First Round
Tombrack United 5 St Josephs 2
Our Youths made their way through to the second round of the cup when they overcame St Josephs 5-2. The lads were always in control in this game and two goals from John Kavanagh and one each from Kevin Kenny, Sean Kirwan and Kieran Kenny saw the lads through

Tombrack United 0 Shelburne AFC 0 aet
(Tombrack United won 4-3 on pens)
After a very closely contested Neil O Sullivan Cup tie, the lads came through a very entertaining encounter and booked their place in the second round courtesy of a penalty shoot out. This was always going to be a potentially tricky match for our lads but they competed well and were always well in contention and in the end were probably deserving of their victory
The lads would also like to take this opportunity to wish keeper Jason Maguire the best of luck as he leaves the club to join Wexford Youths Under Nineteen squad. This is a great achievement for Jason and everyone in the club pass on our best wishes
Mens Second Team
Gwyn Jones Cup First Round
Tombrack United 2 Rosslare Rangers 0

Stoney LFC 0 Tombrack United 1
Our women travelled to Horetown for this top of the table clash and after this 1-0 win, they now sit five points clear at the top of the table.

Stoney pulled themselves back into the game but our defence held firm with Mary Martin making a vital block ten minutes before half time to keep Tombrack in front. Our women continued to control the second half with Sarah Merrigan, Shannon, Marie Allenand Kelli Maguire all going close to doubling the lead with Breda Cushen and Leanne Kenny making immediate impacts when being introduced midway through the second half.
Tombrack were well deserving of the victory and while there are still four games to go, they have moved themselves into pole position in the division

Wexford Volkswagon Cup First Round
Enniscorthy Town B 0 Tombrack United 11

Crossabeg AFC 3 Tombrack United B 2
Our men's B team put in an excellent performance against Division Two side Crossabeg and were unlucky to lose out by the odd goal in five. Mark O Connor and Mick "Savo" Kelly were on target for our lads who battled right to the end and will feel unfortunate not to have at least brought this cup tie to extra time
Women's Division Three
Cushinstown AFC 0 Tombrack United 6
Our women moved two points clear at the top of the table after this 6-0 win away to a hard working Cushinstown side whose goalkeeper picked this game to produce the performance of the season. After several near misses from Sarah Merrigan, Sharon Walsh, Mary Boland and Tammy Hennessy, Shannon McGovern eventually shot to the net just past the half hour mark to put the women in front. The constant pressure paid off in the second half as Shannon scored another two, followed by one from Kelli Maguire, then Shannon added her fourth before Sarah rounded off the 6-0 win with a well struck long range effort. Another of the schoolgirl squad made her debut in this match when Breda Cushen came on as a sub with twenty minutes to go.

Under Twelve Cup First Round
Fastnet Rovers 5 Tombrack United 1
The Under Twelve boys put in a good performance against a strong Fastnet side who are two divisions ahead of our lads but this game was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Rovers went 3-0 ahead before Tombrack pulled one back through Stephen O Toole and were unlucky not to get back level as they hit the post twice. Tombrack enjoyed most of the possession in the second half and Rovers then scored twice late in the game to win 5-1
Under Fourteen Boys Cup First Round
New Ross Celtic 5 Tombrack United 2
Our Under Fourteen Boys got a tough draw when pitted against unbeaten New Ross Celtic who are top of division two, however, our lads played very well against their high profile opponents before bowing out 5-2. Evan Maher and Conor Salt were the goalscorers for Tombrack
Under Fourteen Girls Division Two B
Gorey Rangers 6 Tombrack United 4
This high scoring game could have went anyway and could have been 10-10 as several chances were created by both sides but it was Rangers who eventually took the three points after a good first half. Nadine Fortune scored a hat trick for Tombrack with Ana Dragussan also finding the net with our girls now in a three way battle for second place
Under Eighteen Girls Seven a Side
Gorey Rangers 1 Tombrack United 3
Our Under Eighteen girls pulled themselves back into the title race in the league after this 3-1 win away to Gorey Rangers. Tombrack were always in control but found themselves a goal down when they conceded a long range goal against the run of play. Our girls continued to dominate the second half and were rewarded when Kelli Maguire scored five minutes in the half before Becky Connaughton made it 2-0 and Kelli scored her second a few minutes from the end to wrap up the points
Under Eighteen Boys Division Four
Camolin Celtic 2 Tombrack United 2
Our Youths missed the opportunity to go joint top of the league when they led 2-0 in this vital league match but conceded two second half goals and had to settle for a point but still well in contention for the title and their faith is still in their own hands. Two goals from John Kavanagh had our lads in front and were in control of the game but too many missed chances proved costly as the home side got back into the game to score twice and earn a point. With three games to go, only three points seperate Camolin (16) Killenagh (14) and Tombrack (13) and our lads have both those teams still to play

Under Twelve Cup First Round
Fastnet Rovers 5 Tombrack United 1
The Under Twelve boys put in a good performance against a strong Fastnet side who are two divisions ahead of our lads but this game was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Rovers went 3-0 ahead before Tombrack pulled one back through Stephen O Toole and were unlucky not to get back level as they hit the post twice. Tombrack enjoyed most of the possession in the second half and Rovers then scored twice late in the game to win 5-1

New Ross Celtic 5 Tombrack United 2
