Munster Junior Cup, 1st Round, Charleville 1 – 5 Newport Town AFC

  • Posted on

Saturday, September 19 (Charleville)

Newport scorers: Brian ‘Clemy’ O’Sullivan (2), Sean ‘Bond’ O’Brien (2) & Dave Murray.

These two sides met three weeks ago in Derryleigh Park, when Newport lost by the odd goal in an 11 goal thriller. That was a game that Newport felt they should not have lost and the lads were anxious to put in a good performance to put things right.

Newport are still missing a number of players due to injury and holiday and Charleville’s astro-turf pitch is never an easy place to get a result and this was looking like it would be a tricky encounter. Charleville started the brighter and we were lucky that they scuppered two great chances in the first 10 minutes. Continue reading →

U11 Greens, Newport Town AFC Greens v Janesboro (non-competitive)

  • Posted on

Saturday, September 19 (Derryleigh Park)

This week saw the U11 greens take on Janesboro at home in Derryleigh Park, with a large turnout of players from the green squad.

With the introduction of the new seven aside rules, Newport got off to a strong start and displayed great patience and skill, with goalie Danny O’Keeffe making great saves. Defenders Mark Forde and Tommy Lyons worked hard to keep Janesboro at bay.

Conor Molamphy showed great vigour and skill on the right side and this paid off when he laid off a lovely pass to a waiting Zach Ryan who picked out David O’Brien and David make no mistakes and scored for the home team. With confidence high Newport were on the attack and Conor Molamphy’s quick thinking saw David O’Brien free to score for a second time. Continue reading →

U12, Div 2, Regional United C 3 – 0 Newport Town AFC ‘B’

  • Posted on

Friday, September 18 (Crescent College)

Newport U12 B’s produced their best display of the season and were unfortunate to lose to Regional on Friday Night.

Newport set their stall out from the start of the game with disciplined defending and some good tackling and work rate across the field. It was just their 3rd game together and the team are starting to gel together.

Luke Collins had a shot on target in the first half and there were a couple of half chances. At the other end David Parsons, Dylan Keppel and Brian Sweeney were solid. When Regional got through on goal. John Lee in goals, was up to the task. Continue reading →

U10 Yellows v Mungret Sept 18 2015
Wednesday, September 16 (Mungret)

The Newport U-10 yellow team kicked off its season on Wednesday evening with an away match to Mungret. All 13 players contributed in the first half which saw Newport leading through a goal from Senan Ryan.

Mungret came back strongly in the second half and we have to thank our keeper Darragh Gavin for keeping us in the match at times.

The game became a cracking end to end affair where our midfielders David Whelton, Evan Moran, Darragh Meaney and Ciaran Carey never gave up, they played some great football and covered all over the pitch. Continue reading →

U10 Reds v Caherdavin Sept 16 2015
Wednesday, September 16 (Derryleigh Park)

Newport played a very strong Caherdavin team at home in Derryleigh Park in front of a large crowd of parents & supporters. In just their second game together, they found it difficult to repel a very skilful and quick forward line. With some great saves made by Luke Kennedy, Damien O’Brien, James Delahunty, Dylan Jones and Alex O’Neill, Caherdavin still managed to score. By the second half Newport were been well defeated and were still battling to score but never gave up. Dessie Lysaght, Ben O’Callaghan, David O’Brien, Evan Keogh made some powerful attempts to score but Conor Molamphy was the only player who succeeded from a well taken free kick. Despite putting in great efforts throughout the game Newport came out on the losing side. Thanks to all our supporters for coming.

Squad: Ben O’Callaghan, Evan Keogh, Conor Molamphy, Alex O’Neill, Dessie Lysaght, Luke Kennedy, David O’Brien, James Delahunty, Dylan Jones & Damien O’Brien

FAI Junior Cup, 2nd Round, Newport Town AFC 0 – 5 Pike Rovers

  • Posted on

Sunday, September 13 (Derryleigh Park)

We welcomed current Premier League leaders, Pike Rovers to Derryleigh Park in the FAI Junior Cup. We couldn’t have asked for a more difficult opponent and a hard task was made even more difficult due to us missing a number of key players due to injury and holidays. Unfortunately a bad first 20 minutes, in which we conceded 4 goals and possibly gave our opponents a little too much respect in the opening quarter, was to be our downfall. One more was conceded in the 38th minute to give the visitors a 5-0 half time lead. Continue reading →

Junior C, Div 4, Shelbourne 5 – 1 Newport Town AFC

  • Posted on

Saturday, September 12 (Shelbourne Park)

Newport scorer: Daniel O’Sullivan

A very young & inexperienced side lost 5-1 away to a very experienced Shelbourne B side. We were 5-1 down at half time and were masters of our downfall due to some naïve defending. Whatever was said at half time seemed to strike a chord with the lads and the second half saw a super effort and attitude from all as we simply owned the ball, but couldn’t score. Shelbourne had no shot on target in the second half. Our C’s are mainly young lads learning loads from game time. This season continues to be a development year for this team. The squad had 10 players under 21, with some as young as 16.

Best for Newport were Thomas Carroll, Colin Floyd, Bernard Healy, Aidan O’Brien, as well as veteran Bobby Sexton. C team training continues on Tuesday from 9-10pm.
