Neil O Sullivan Cup Quarter Final
North End United B 2 Tombrack United 3
The lads are through to the semi final of the Neil O Sullivan Cup after they survived a late scare from North End to go through. Most of the goals came early in the game and Tombrack led 3-1 at half time after Richie O Hara, Rory Newe and James Coleman had all found the net and seemed to be well in control of the match. The second half was much closer as North End battled to get back into the game and were rewarded when they scored with six minutes remaining but our lads used their experience to hold on for a well deserved place in tomorrow night's semi final draw.
"News is now breaking that one of more experienced players missed a penalty at a crucial stage in this game with the crossbar allegedly damaged and a ball gone missing......updates to follow"
The cup drama continues next week when the lads travel to New Ross Celtic in the last sixteen of the Wexford Cup with an 11am kick off
Wexford Football League Division Four A
Tombrack United 3 Enniscorthy Town 0

Tombrack United 3 Wexford Youths 1
Our Under Twelve girls produced one of their best performances of the season when they overcame third placed Wexford Youths 3-1 to secure three points that will most likely see them avoid relegation. Ana Dragusan continued her good season in front of goal with a hat trick in a game where our girls were well deserving of the victory
Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Premier One
Tombrack United 3 Courtown Hibs 1
Our Under Sixteen girls need only one point to wrap up the Premier title after they overcame a tricky match at home to a young Courtown Hibs side.

Good day for Adult teams
Wexford Football League Division One
Tombrack United 0 Ferns United 0
After last weeks defeat away to Bridge Rovers, it was vital that our men's first team produced a good performance and despite missing some key players, they did just that in this local derby at home to Ferns United. Tombrack did edge the possession statistics but found the Ferns defence difficult to break down with James Coleman going closest when he had a header cleared off the line. Richie O Hara also saw a shot go just wide while at the other end, keeper Paul Darcy was called on to make some vital saves near the end. This point moves the lads closer to safety in this division while Ferns badly needed the three points to keep their title ambitions alive. Overall manager Joe Newe was happy with a point and will now concentrate on next Sunday's Neil O Sullivan Cup Quarter Final away to North End United B
Wexford Football League Division Four A
Tombrack United 7 Rosslare Port 5
Our men's second team kept alive their promotion hopes when they overcame Rosslare Port in this twelve goal thriller, a win that keeps them in touch with the top three. Nine of the goals were scored in the first half with the lead changing hands several times before Port went in at the break 5-4 up. A much more disciplined display in the second half saw Tombrack score three goals to eventually take all three points. Eoghan Murphy scored two with Jamie Murphy, Kevin Kenny, John Ryan, Mike "Savo" Kelly and James Kehoe all scoring one goal each.
Women's Division Three Cup Quarter Final
Ajax Athletic 0 Tombrack United 3
After being fixed four times and postponed because of the weather, this divisional cup quarter final eventually was played and Tombrack booked a semi final meeting with Bridge Rovers with a 3-0 win. The women started the game at an intense pace and had Ajax under pressure from the start with Sharon Walsh, Leanne Kenny and Kelli Maguire all going close in the first ten minutes. The breakthrough eventually came on twenty two minutes when Marie Allen sent a thirty yard shot to the roof of the net, followed by a Mary Boland goal fifteen minutes later. Tombrack's domination continued in the second half with Chloe Hayden Doyle, Katie O Toole and player of the match Kelli Maguire all going close before Mary Boland scored her second ten minutes from the end to secure the win. This performance was probably one of the teams most complete performances of the season and showed the strength of depth in the squad and they will now play Bridge Rovers in the semi final on Sunday April 2nd
Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Breda Cushen, Tia Byrne, Eimear Whelan, Mary Boland, Marie Allen, Kelli Maguire, Chloe Hayden Doyle, Leanne Kenny (Katie O Toole), Sharon Walsh

Under Ten girls suffer shock defeat
Under Ten Schoolgirls Division One
Tombrack United 1 St Leonards 2
Our schoolgirls team suffered a shock defeat this morning when despite dominating long periods of the game, they came out on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline, falling to their first league defeat of the season. Emer Roche put our girls ahead early in the first half but St Leonards were quickly back on level terms and the game remained like that until the break. Tombrack enjoyed most of the possession in the second half as they went in search of a winner but disaster struck when the visitors broke and scored and then defended strongly to hold on for the three points.
Despite this defeat, our girls remain in second place and with three games remaining, their league ambitions are still in their own hands

Results from weekend of 12-03-2017
Under Eleven Schoolboys
Tombrack United v Ballymurn Celtic
Our Under Eleven boys produced one of their best performances of the season as they battled strongly against a hard working Ballymurn side. Both teams played slick passing football despite difficult conditions underfoot and both sets of management were delighted with their players performances.
Under Twelve Schoolgirls Division Two B
Rosslare Strand 5 Tombrack United 5
These two sides have produced nineteen goals in the two games they played against each other and this 5-5 draw in Rosslare produced some excellent football. Our girls were chasing the game all the way through, trailing 1-0, 2-1 and eventually 5- 3 before a late comeback earned our girls a point. Ana Dragusan scored four with Marita McCrea scoring her first ever goal for the club
Under Thirteen Schoolboys Division Three
Gorey Celtic B 5 Tombrack United 1
Conor Salt was on target for our Under Thirteen boys as they played out their final game of the season against league leaders Gorey Celtic who are only one point from the title after this win. Our lads put in a strong performance and only trailed 2-1 at the break and were well in contention throughout the second half but the home side were just that bit sharper in front of goal. Well done to Bob and David on a great season
Under Sixteen Schoolgirls Premier One
Cloughbawn AFC 2 Tombrack United 4
Our Under Sixteen girls are within touching distance of the Premier title after they came away from rivals Cloughbawn 4-2 winners and worst case scenario is we need four points from their last two games to clinch the title. Cloughbawn took the lead in this game before Nicola Ryan headed home a corner to bring the sides level just before half time and goals from Shannon McGovern and Becky Connnaughton had our girls 3-1 up. The home side did pull one back before Becky scored her second to wrap up a vital three points
Youths Division Four
Tombrack United 1 Camolin Celtic 1
Played in front of a large crowd, this potential league decider produced some excellent football with both sides giving 100%, with our lads needing to win to force a play off while Camolin just needed a point to wrap up the title. Kevin Kenny gave Tombrack the ideal start when he scored a free kick on seven minutes to take a well deserved lead and Camolin had their goalkeeper to thank for keeping it at 1-0 as he made two excellent saves from John Kavanagh and Kevin Kenny. However, with eight minutes to go to half time, Camolin forced a corner and Tombrack failed to clear and the visitors slotted the ball into the net. The second half was very evenly matched with Tombrack looking for the elusive winner while Camolin were in search of the goal that would clinch the title. Time ran out in the end and the visitors secured the point they needed to be crowned divisional champions while Tombrack finished runners up after been unbeaten all season. The players gave everything in this match with all putting in one hundred per cent and Jack Kehoe in particular producing aman of the match performance
Well done to Willie, Bridget and the players as well as everyone involved in a very historic season as these are the first medals collected by the club at Youth level
Men's Division One
Bridge Rovers 4 Tombrack United 0
Our men's team got the worst possible start in this match against one of the top teams in the division when they found themselves 3-0 down and a man down twenty minutes into the game. Bridge started strongly and had our defence under pressure from the start and were rewarded with three early goals and then Eoin Carton was sent off after an altercation with the referee and there was no way back after that. The lads showed great character for the remaining seventy minutes and conceded only one goal in the second half but will now need to prepare for next week's, which will most likely be one of the cup games
Gwyn Jones Cup Second Round
Wexford Albion B 2 Tombrack United 1
Our second team travelled to Wexford Albion with just eleven players for this Gwyn Jones Cup tie and put up a strong performance before bowing out 2-1. Eoghan Murphy was on target for the lads but found the Albion side just that bit sharper on the day

Vital win for men in Boolavogue
Wexford Football League Division One
St Cormacs 2 Tombrack United 3
In one of only two matches played in the men's league, our lads made the short journey to St Cormacs and after a dogged battle in very difficult conditions, they came away with a very important three points. Tombrack started well and went in front on eighteen minutes when Eoin Carton found the net but fifteen minutes later, St Cormacs were deservedly back on level terms.
Our lads started the second half well and after creating some good chances, they went 2-1 ahead when Eoin scored his second on the hour mark and seven minutes later, he completed his hat trick to put the lads 3-1 ahead. The home side pulled a goal back with ten minutes remaining but Tombrack did enough to see out the game to pick up all three points and move level with St Cormacs and Wexford Bohs but with several games in hand on both.
The lads are in an interesting position as they currently involved in a relegation battle but if they won their games in hand, they would go top of the table so it is still a long and interesting season ahead for the lads with also still being involved in two cups
In the only other league game played, Corach Ramblers moved top of the division with a 2-0 win at home to St Leonards

Under Fourteen boys sign off with a win
Under Ten Schoolgirls Cup Quarter Final
Ballindaggin 4 Tombrack United 1
Our youngest girls side bowed out of the cup to holders and favourites Ballindaggin in a game where the girls showed great spirit and character against a very talented home side. Ballindaggin took the lead midway through first half but a goal from Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave had the sides level just before half time. An early goal from the home side had Tombrack on the back foot and as they worked hard to get back into the game, Ballindaggin scored twice more to book their place in the semi finals. Our girls can be proud of their performance against one of the best teams in the league and we can now concentrate on finishing well in division one where the girls are currently second.
Under Fourteen Schoolgirls Cup Quarter Final
Forth Celtic 3 Tombrack United 2
A strong first half performance from Forth Celtic saw them go 3-0 up in this cup quarter final but our girls showed great character in the second half to come back strongly and will feel unlucky not to have brought the game to extra time. After conceding three goals in the first half, a more determined Tombrack side came out in the second half and a goal from Aoibhe McSweeney gave a glimmer of hope and when Amy Tobin Cosgrave sent a free kick to the roof of the net, it was game on. However, Forth held firm and although they had to clear the ball off the line in the dying minutes they held on to go through to the last four. It was one of the best performances of the season from our under fourteen girls and they can now concentrate on pushing hard for promotion in the league
Under Fourteen Schoolboys Division Three
Tombrack United 3 Gorey Rangers 1
Our Under Fourteen boys completed their season with a 3-1 win over Gorey Rangers and finish the season a very creditable fourth with five wins from their ten games. They were always in control in this game and were well deserving of their three points with goals from Eavan Maher, William Kenny and Conor Salt. They are a group of players with loads of potential and are the future of the club and well done to all including manager Willie Maher and Bob Newe who assisted in any way possible when needed and club secretary Bridget Nolan Kenny who ensured everything happened as it should.
We look forward to these lads (and girl) progressing up to Under Fifteen next season
Under Eighteen Schoolgirl Sevens
Tombrack United 1 Gorey Rangers 0
Our Under Eighteen girls moved joint top of the table after this win over a Gorey Rangers side who worked hard defensively. Tombrack dominated the game for the full fifty minutes but Gorey proved a stubborn defence to break down until the home side were awarded a penalty in the final minute which Becky Connaughton held her nerve to convert to give the girls a well deserved three points and their fifth win of the season. The girls are now in a very strong position with two games to go and its in their own hands as they play their closest challengers in those games. Well done to Pat and the girls for doing well at a very difficult age group.
Ballindaggin 4 Tombrack United 1
