ALL Players MUST be registered with the club before taking part in training or games, or they will NOT be insured with the club. There are still a number of players that haven’t completed club registration. To facilitate parents’ requests, we will be holding another registration night for ALL schoolboy & schoolgirl players this coming Friday, October 11, from 6-9pm in the clubhouse. It is very important that a parent/guardian attend to complete a membership form and pay the relevant fee.

• U8 to U11 (born in 2009-2012) – €70

We are anxious to get as many registrations as possible completed as soon as possible and reduce the amount of time & effort required by our volunteers to complete the process. As we have close on 350 underage players, your co-operation would be greatly appreciated. Please spread the word.

Full details of membership & its benefits are on our website.

  • Posted on


Friday, October 4 2019 (Castleisland)

Scorers: Cormac Shanahan & Luke McIntyre

Newport Town AFC U12 (2008) schoolboys recorded another fantastic away win in the SFAI Skechers National Cup in Castleisland this evening. A tight first half finished 0-0. Terrific battling and organising from goalkeeper Tommy Whelan and the back three of Liam Lynch, Darragh McNamara and Eoin Mac Craith. In the second half Newport began to settle and create chances through wingers Scott Nugent and Cormac Shanahan, who bagged a brilliant goal to put the Town in front. Patrick O’Shea, Lucas Wright and Conor Ryan made strong contributions across midfield before Luke McIntyre smashed home a second goal. Newport controlled the rest of the game against a skilful Castleisland AFC outfit, with Leon O’Donoghue, Cian English and Conor McLoughlin showing great skill and determination at key moments. Final score Castleisland 0-2 Newport Town AFC.

Saturday, September 21 2019 (Villa Park)

Scorers: Conor Ryan, Patrick O’Shea, Luke McIntyre, Scott Nugent, Ollie Roche & Lucas Wright

Our U12 (2008) boys had their first ever competitive match in Round 1 of the Skechers National Cup at a windswept Villa Park in Roscrea on Saturday afternoon. A tight first half saw Newport take the lead through a well taken Conor Ryan goal and Patrick O’Shea doubled the advantage before half time. Newport were composed and organised from building from the back and Luke McIntyre stretched the lead early in the second half with a great strike from midfield before Killavilla hit back to make it 3-1. However, strikes from Scott Nugent, Ollie Roche and Lucas Wright put Newport in control, with the final score Killavilla 1- 6 Newport. Liam Lynch, Eoin Mac Craith and Darragh McNamara worked seamlessly with goalkeeper Tommy Whelan to keep Killavilla at bay throughout an entertaining tussle in difficult conditions. Leon O Donoghue, Conor McLoughlin and Cian English contributed well in a tough midfield battle, showing some great touches on the ball. Newport will now be away to Castleisland in Round 2.
