Great win for Youths

Under Thirteen Schoolboys Division Three A
Tombrack United 1 Forth Celtic B 4
Our Under Thirteen boys opened their season with a disappointing performance as they never got up to speed against an eager Forth Celtic side. Rob McCrea scored for goal for Tombrack but it was only a consolation as Forth ran out 4-1 winners

Under Fifteen Schoolboys Division Division Three
Tombrack United 2 Gorey Celtic B 5
This match was much closer than the scoreline suggests but it was Celtic's ability to find the net was the main difference between the two sides. Evan Maher scored both goals for the home side who played well in periods of the game before eventually going down 5-2

Youths Division Three
Tombrack United 5 Bree United 1
The Youths team remainded unbeaten and in touch with the leaders after this emphatic 5-1 victory over Bree United. Kevin Kenny was in flying form and scored four while Josh McMullan celebrated his call up to the Wexford Under Sixteen squad with a goal. The Youths have opened their season with a win and a draw and are looking like a side capable of contesting for a top half finish in this division

Wexford Football League Premier Division
Tombrack United 1 Gorey Rangers 2
After last weeks heroics against North End, it was interesting to see how the lads would fare out in this game against another of the favourites for the title, and the answer was quite simple, the team have shown they are capable of competing at this level. Early in the game, keeper Eoghan Murphy was called on to make a save from a long range effort but other than the game was equally contested with both sides cancelling each other out. Just on the half hour mark, Tombrack had the ball in the net from a corner only for it to be disallowed for impeding the keeper and four minutes later, Rangers went ahead when a direct through ball found its way beyond the home side defence and the the incoming Gorey player fired to the net.
The second half reaction from Tombrack was excellent and ten minutes into the half, they were level when Eoin Carton used his power and strength to hammer the ball past the keeper for Tombrack's first goal at Premier level. Fifteen minutes later it could have been 2-1 when Savo broke through and did everything right but the keeper saved superbly. Rangers also had their chance at the other end but although the ball went by the keeper, Kevin Kenny was on hand to clear off the line
Once again the game settled into a tentative affair and looked to be heading for a draw until three minutes from the end, Tombrack were unable to get the ball clear of the area and Gorey fired the ball into the bottom corner. Eight minutes injury time was added but although the home side did all they could, they were unable to find that elusive equaliser.
This was definitely a positive display by the home side but will need to keep building on these performances as they now move on to play Shamrock Rovers next Sunday

Wexford Football League Division Four A
Campile United 4 Tombrack United 0
The men's second team travelled to Campile but never really got going and struggled to come to grips with the game as they were beaten 4-0 by a well organised home side. The lads did create chances but found the home defence difficult to break down and will need to get themselves back on track for next week if they want to get themselves into the promotion hunt

Women's Pre Season Friendly
Ajax Athletic 0 Tombrack United 8
A seventeen strong squad travelled to Ajax for the Women's second pre season friendly and the management team used the opportunity to try out some new formations and give some of the newer players more game time. Goals from Shannon Mcgovern and Mary Boland had Tombrack 2-0 up at half time and the second half saw the women take control as goals followed from a Becky Connaughton free kick, a Sarah Merrigan penalty, an own goal when a defender deflected to the net under pressure from Aimee Walsh. This was followed by a Becky Connaughton corner being deflected to the net for 6-0 before Leanne Kenny shot to the roof of the net while Shannon rounded off the scoring as she found space in the penalty area to shoot past the keeper. An overall good performance with players putting in a great effort with Kelly Murphy and Hannah Kilbride making impressive debuts

Squad: Ashling Kavanagh, Mary Martin, Tia Byrne, Eimear Whelan, Breda Cushen, Kelli Maguire, Sarah Merrigan, Mary Boland, Katie O Toole, Shannon McGovern, Marie Allen, Sharon Walsh, Kelly Murphy, Becky Connaughton, Leanne Kenny, Aimee Walsh, Hannah Kilbride
