A new season begins

Schoolboys Under Ten
Bree United v Tombrack United
Our youngest boys team travelled to Bree on Saturday and were involved in a high scoring, fun filled entertaining thriller with some excellent performances from the stars of the future. Under the management of Bridget Kenny and her new Assistant Angela Tomkins, the team had great performances from Jack Sheridan, Eoin Tomkins, Oisin Regan, Padraig Kenny, DJ McGovern and Conor McDermott who was making his debut

Schoolboys Under Twelve 
Campile United 7 Tombrack United 0
A slightly understrength Under Twelve team travelled to Campile and put in an excellent performance where the seven goal margin does not do the team justice. William Wilson was outstanding out the field for the lads while Leanne Walsh put in a strong performance in the goal.

Schoolboys Under Fourteen
Forth Celtic 7 Tombrack United 0
This team has the ability to do very well in this division but unfortunately this game was not one of those days and everything that could go wrong, did and Forth Celtic ran out flattering but comfortable 7-0 winners. The lads were punished for every mistake and were much closer to the home side than the scoreline suggests

Youths Division Three
Ballagh United 1 Tombrack United 1
A new look Youths side opened the season with a hard earned draw against a dogged home side who scored after five minutes to take the lead. Tombrack battled hard to get back into the game and were rewarded five minutes before half time when David Power scored the goal that eventually earned the lads a point. Good performances from goal scorer Power, Kevin Kenny and new signing Mikey Roche

Men's Premier Division
Tombrack United 0 North End United 4
History was made in Tombrack on Sunday morning when the lads kicked off in the Wexford League Premier Division for the first time in the club's history and the opponents could not come any tougher than last seasons double winners North End. Ultimately it was the visitors experience that proved to be the difference between the teams but the home side had their chances and at times, did manage their much more illustrious opponents. Although North End enjoyed good possession, they were unable to penetrate a determined and hard working Tombrack defence and their best chance early in the game came from a free kick that was well saved by Eoghan Murphy. James Coleman and Darragh Hendrick were outstanding in midfield throughout the game but it was Mick "Savo" Kelly who went closest in the first half when he brought an outstanding save from Lee Walker. On thirty minutes, North End got the break when a stretched defence allowed the visitors through and Jay Murphy kept a calm head to slot the ball under Eoghan Murphy. Six minutes later a long clearance from Walker deceived defenders and keeper and the chasing Kyle Dempsey found himself clear in front of an empty goal.
The second half saw Tombrack continue to work hard and restricted the visitors chances and were unlucky not to pull one back when Carton crossed to Savo who once again brought a good save from the experienced North End keeper. The visitors killed off the game on seventy five minutes when Kyle Dempsey fired home from outside the box but Tombrack kept coming forward and Richie O Hara could have scored twice, seeing one long range effort headed off the line and a second opportunity where he could not dig the ball from under his feet when through in space. Bob Newe also went close before North End had the final say with probably the best worked goal of the game when Shane Dempsey fired home with seven minutes remaining
Overall, manager Joe Newe was disappointed with the mistakes and feels his side are conceding far too many goals but was very happy with the character shown by the whole squad in what could have been potentially a very tricky encounter.
Every player played their part in this game but Darragh Hendrick, James Coleman and Bob Newe were all excellent on the day
Next Sunday will see another of the Premier title challenger,  Gorey Rangers, come to Tombrack and the club were delighted such great numbers turn out for this morning's game and hopefully will see you all there next Sunday again

Squad: Eoghan Murphy, Rory Newe, Dane McGarry, Bob Newe, Brian Hayden, Kevin Coleman (Richie O Hara), Darragh Hendrick, Kevin Coleman, Kevin Kenny (Tom Hayden) (Steven Ryan), Eoin Carton (John Coleman), Mick Kelly

Mens Division Four A
Tombrack United "B" 3 Enniscorthy United "B" 5
These two sides produced an open game of football before the visitors left with all three points as they came out on top in this eight goal thriller. Tombrack opened the scoring when Eoghan Murphy found the net after twenty minutes but eight minutes later, the vistors were back on level terms when a well struck shot gave Jason Watchorn in the goal no chance. The opening five minutes of the second half were disastrous for the home side as Enniscorthy scored twice to cruise into a 3-1 lead. However, Tombrack worked hard and quickly pulled one back when a Steven Ryan effort caused a mix up between the keeper and defender and the ball found its way to the net and the home side were back level a few minutes later when Eoghan Murphy headed to the net. Five minutes later, Enniscorthy were back in front when their centre forward fired low to the net and this time defended strongly to keep the home side at bay and scored late in the game to wrap up the three points.
There was little to criticise about the performance of the team and can still be among the challengers in this division but will need to cut down on conceding so many goals
