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
