Volkswagon Wexford Cup Third Round
Tombrack United 3 Adamstown FC 1
Played in horrendous weather conditions, our men's first team used the conditions to their advantage to eventually break down a dogged Adamstown defence to advance to the last sixteen of the Wexford Cup for only the second time in the club history. Playing with a strong wind at their back, the lads dominated the first half but found the visitors defence difficult to break down until five minutes before half time when two James Coleman goals put Tombrack in control.
The weather deteriorated even further in the second half and despite a strong gale behind them, Adamstown were unable to break down a well organised Tombrack defence although Brian Hayden did have to clear off the line midway through the half. However as the half wore on, Tombrack took more control of the game and began to create several chances of their own before James was taken down in the box with ten minutes to go and Bob Newe stepped up to slam home the resultant penalty. Adamstown did score a late consolation goal but it was too little too late the lads held on to comfortably progress to the fourth round.
The Mens B team and the Women's games against Wexford Albion and Ajax respectively were both called off due to unplayable pitches

Youths ensure at least second place with win in St Josephs
Under Eleven Schoolboys Division Two A
Tombrack United v Corach Ramblers
Our Under Eleven boys continue to be involved in high scoring encounters and today against Corach Ramblers was no different. Our lads created several chances but found it difficult to break down a hard working Ramblers defence but eventually did score through Stephen O Toole and Luke Regan
Youths Division Four
St Josephs 0 Tombrack United 7
Our Youths team ensured at least runners up spot with this comfortable win away to St Josephs and have now set up a situation where if they beat leaders Camolin Celtic in the final game of the season, they will set up a play off with the same opposition for the league title. Tombrack were always in control of this game and goals from John Kavanagh, Jamie Roban, Jack Kehoe and Conor Kehoe as well as a hat trick from Kevin Kenny saw our lads set up one, or hopefully two, vital fixtures with Camolin. Irrelevant of what happens, the lads can not finish any lower than second but manager Willie Maher has his sights firmly set on silverware

Results 19-02-2017
Mens Divison One
Corach Ramblers 2 Tombrack United 0
Two first half goals secured an important three points as two of the contenders for the division title met for the first time this season. Tombrack enjoyed the slightly better possession but were unable to break down a resilient Ramblers defence who once they got ahead in the game, they were never going to concede easily. While this defeat was a setback, it was only a minor one and there is a lot of football to be played in this division before the final positions are decided.
Next Sunday sees the lads at home to Adamstown in the cup at 11am
Women's Division Three
Tombrack United 3 Ajax Athletic 0
The women recorded their tenth win of the season as they overcame a hard working Ajax side who are showing massive improvement with every game. It took thirty eight minutes before the league champions eventually scored with Shannon McGovern reacting quickest when the Ajax keeper parried a Breda Cushen shot. Earlier in the game, Shannon had hit the post with a corner while Kelli Maguire had went close twice. The second half performance from Tombrack was much more efficient and went 2-0 up when Mary Boland got on the end of a through ball and rounded the keeper to roll the ball into an empty net. A goal midway through the second half from Shannon finished off the scoring and the remainder of the game was played out in anticipation of the celebrations to follow when league committee member Adrian Kehoe was on hand to present the cup to Tombrack captain Eimear Whelan. The night that followed will go down in history....for anyone that can remember it
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Saoirse Harris (Tammy Hennessy) Eimear Whelan, Tia Byrne, Marie Allen, Mary Boland, Kelli Maguire (Leanne Kenny), Breda Cushen, Sharon Walsh (Katie O Toole), Shannon McGovern

This win keeps the lads in contention with some big games coming up in the next few months
Under Fourteen Schoolgirls Division Two B
Tombrack United 0 Seaview United 1
In a game where defences dominated, chances were kept to an absolute minimum and as the game progressed, it looked like a scoreless draw was on the cards until a goal two minutes from time gave Seaview all three points.

Two big results for adult teams
Neil O Sullivan Cup Second Round
New Ross Town 0 Tombrack United 1
Our men's first team are through to the last eight of the Neil O Sullivan Cup when they came away from New Ross Town with a 1-0 victory after a dogged battle in difficult conditions in Good Counsel College. This was a game that was always a potential banana skin as the home side as the Division Two A side are enjoying a good season and are well in the hunt for promotion. However our lads were well up for the game and a goal from Eoin Carton proved to be the difference between the two sides and it could have been more as Tombrack were well in control and created the lion share of the chances. They now are in the quarter finals of this cup and the third round of the Wexford Cup and with thirteen league matches left, it looks like a lot of football to be played still
Women's League Division Three
Tombrack United 5 St Cormacs 0
A dominant second half performance saw our women see off St Cormacs 5-0 and wrap up the league title with nine wins and one draw from the ten games played so far. Played on a sticky surface, Tombrack were unlucky not to take control in the first half as Shannon McGovern, Kelli Maguire and Mary Boland all went close with the latter bringing an excellent save from the keeper. However we were lucky not to go behind as St Cormacs broke and Breda Cushen had to clear off the line to keep the sides level. The goal eventually came when a probing run from Mary Boland saw her shot be parried away by the keeper only for Shannon McGovern to bravely pounce and fire the ball to the net.
The second half began ideally when Sarah Merrigan fired a shot to the corner of the net after just two minutes and this was quickly followed by Kelli Maguire capitalising on a keeper error to score while Shannon and Sarah rounded off the scoring for a 5-0 win.
This win secures the league title for the women with two games to spare, scoring 32 goals and conceding just 2, with the presentation of the cup being made after their match at home to Ajax next Sunday
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Breda Cushen, Eimear Whelan, Tia Byrne, Marie Allen, Sarah Merrigan (Katie O Toole), Kelli Maguire (Tammy Hennessy), Mary Boland (Saoirse Harris). Marie Allen, Sharon Walsh (Tammy Hennessy), Shannon McGovern, Chloe Hayden Doyle. Lauren Byrne

Saturday, 11 February 2017
Mixed day of results for underage
Under Twelve Schoolgirls Division Two B
Tombrack United 1 St Josephs 3
Our girls put in one of their best performances of the season had no luck as they created several chances against a clinical St Josephs side who ran out 3-1 winners to move second in the table. Our games battled hard throughout the forty minutes with Ana Dragusan bringing several saves from the keeper before finally scoring in the final minute while Rachel McSweeney and Katlyn Kehoe also went close. This team deserved at least a draw from this game and a was definitely a possibility but they just did not get the breaks. Well done to all involved
Under Thirteen Schoolboys Division Three
Tombrack United 8 Bree United 0
Our Under Fourteen boys kept alive their chances of a medal with this big win over a young Bree side. Our lads were always in control in this game and Bree had no answer to the firepower of the home side as they ran out comfortable 8-0 winners. Conor Salt scored a hat trick with Conor O Toole and Conor Walsh scoring two each while John Joe Murphy also scored. The lads now need to win their final game and hopefully some other results might go their way to bring them into contention for promotion
Under Fifteen Schoolboys Division Three
St Josephs 0 Tombrack United 5
The lads remain in contention for runners up spot after this 5-0 win away to St Josephs and moved back into second place with these three points.

Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Premier One Division
Tombrack United 4 Cloughbawn AFC 0
The under sixteen girls bounced back from their defeat in St Leonards to overcome closest challengers Cloughbawn 4-0 with a strong second half performance. The first half was closely contested with both sides creating chances but it was Tombrack who found the net through Shannon McGovern. Cloughbawn did react and came on the attack, putting the ball in the net only to be ruled offside. The second half performance saw the girls press forward against a young Cloughbawn side and two more goals from Shannon as well as one from her younger sister Shauna saw Tombrack collect a very important three points in their quest for the premier title. Well done to Sean, Bridget and all involved
Wexford League Youths Cup Second Round
Tombrack United 0 Campile United 4
A strong first half performance from our Youths team failed to produce any goals despite several close efforts and they ultimately paid the price in the second half. Kevin Kenny went close twice against the recently crowned Division Three champions who have been unbeaten all season and as happens in games like this, if chances are not converted, they are usually punished. Early in the second half, Campile got the break to score after just five minutes and as the half progressed, they added a second and with keeper Daniel Nolan Buckley and midfielder Kieran Kenny having to go off injured, Campile wrapped up the game with two more to book their place in the last eight. Hard luck to the lads and they can now move on and concentrate on their final two league games against St Josephs and Camolin where two wins would see them in at least a play off for the title
Tombrack United 1 St Josephs 3
