Under Fourteens earn point in six goal thriller

Schoolboys Under Fourteen Division Three
Ferns United 3 Tombrack United 3
Our under fourteen boys earned their first point of the season with a last minute penalty in this thrilling local derby in clone. Tombrack led 1-0 at the break thanks to a goal from Colm Fortune but although he scored again in the second half, the home side were sharper and led three two with just moments left. However there was drama in the dying seconds when Tombrack were awarded a penalty and Conor O Toole kept his nerve to slot to the net and earn our lads a well deserved point

Enniscorthy United 6 Tombrack United 1
This game was much closer than the scoreline suggests with Tombrack trailing just 2-1 at the break with Harry Fitzgibbon scoring. However the second half was all Enniscorthy and they capitalized on some poor defending to score four more and run out flattering 6-1 winners

The men's first team completed their opening three games against the top three when they travelled to Enniscorthy to take on Shamrock Rovers. The home side enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and led 2-0 at the break. Two further quick goals early in the second half had Tombrack in trouble but this team is growing in character every week and showed it as goals from James Coleman and Eoghan Murphy brought the game back to 4-2. Rovers did score late in the game to win 5-2 and move to the top of the table. This game also saw the return of Paul Darcy to the goal and showed some of his old form by pulling off some vital saves. The lads now take on Crossabeg AFC in the LFA Junior Cup on Sunday 24th

Tombrack United 0 Wexford Albion 1
The men's second team would not have been flattered to be 4-0 up after 20 minutes in this game but wasted those chances and went in at the break still scoreless. Albion upped their game in the second half and applied pressure but found Conor Kehoe in the goal difficult to beat until seven minutes from the end, a defensive error allowed them through and Conor could do little to stop the well placed strike. Tombrack will feel unfortunate not to have grabbed at least a point but a bit more sharpness in front of goal could have seen them take all three
