Newbrook Celtic Football Club

Newbrook continued there winning ways in 2010 with a hard fought victory over a stubborn Loughshinny side in Tymon Park on Sunday morning in Tymon Park.  Newbrook were down to the bare bones on Sunday with only Paul Clarke on the line.  Newbrook found it hard to make any passes stick early on as they got to grips with the difficult surface.  Chances for Mulligan & Renick came and went and we went in to the break deadlocked.  Early in the second half Newbrook broke the deadlock when Monks rolled a quick free kick Barry Renick who drove a fierce shot that the Loughshinny keeper spilled only for Keith Jackson to bundle home to make it 3 goals in 3 games for the centre midfielder.  Loughshinny got back in to the game in the 70th minute following a corner that was headed to the edge of the box the Loughshinny number  6 had time on the edge of the box and drove home.   Newbrook didnt let there heads drop and were patient and got there reward in the 81st minute when Monks prodded a  ball to Mulligan who picked out Moran wide on the right Moran drove at the Loughshinny defence and pulled the ball back for the hard working Paul Mulligan who finished well from 14 yards to give Newbrook a deserved win.  

Key Man Watch Newbrook Celtic. Barry Renick was again superb linking up the midfield with the attack.  never wasted the ball and was unlucky not to score Newbrooks first.

Newbrook kicked of 2010 with a stunning victory over a well organized team from enniscorthy in round 2 of the Leinster Junior shield in Tymon Park. Gareth Mulligan opened the scoring after Barry Renick put him in for a tap in that Mulligan smashed off the cross bar to make 1-0. It was soon 2-0 when Dan Tanam slotted home after Paul Mulligan put a superb ball in across the box. Moyne were passing the ball around well but found Newbrooks defense in fine form. Marc Mc Liam deserves a special mention for a string of fabulous reaction saves, his distribution was superb as well as he set up many counter attacks. Newbrook went 3 up with what has to be goal of the season from the outstanding Gar Mulligan. He won the ball in the centre of the park and beat one man before unleashing an unstoppable shot in to the top corner from 30 yards. As Andy Gray would say “Take a bow son”. Newbrook made it 4-0 when Dan Tanam looped a header in to the back of the net after a fine cross from Graham Mc Nevin. Gar Mulligan completed his hatrick at the backpost after the outstanding Barry Renick picked him out at the backpost for a tap in. Paul Mulligan made it 6-0 with a fine finish after a powerful run on the right hand side. Mick O’ Brien had made his long awaited comeback and looked sharp as he picked out Joey Kelly with a fabulous pass. Kelly killed the ball superbly and was un-lucky that the ball hit a bobble and went wide. Newbrook finished the game in style with Keith Jackson hitting a fantastic drive from 20 yards that found the top corner. Jackson had been superb all day and deserved the goal. Newbrook will be very happy with this display. The clean sheet was welcomed by skipper Luke Rock who along with Teeling Mc Nevin & Mc Evoy were solid all day long. One sour note was the withdrawal of Richie Renick at half time with a hamstring injury.

Key ManWatch:  Gar Mulligan

Mulligan bagged a fantastic hatrick and ran the show in the middle of the park.  His second goal from 30 yards was a wonder strike.

Sunday sees us finally make our return to the Leinster Junior Shield following numerous postponements. Moyne from Enniscorthy provide the 2nd round opposition. This is out 3rd year in the competition and 2nd game this season following a first round win over Caim Uts also of Wexford. Joe Kelly, Barry Rennick & Greg Moran provided the goals that day in a 3-0 win. Over the previous 3 years we have had 10 different goalscorers with Graham Burke still leading the way with 4 goals closely followed by Simon Monks & Barry Rennick with 2 each. Kick Off is at 11am in Tymon Arena. For the home team Graham Johnson has been ruled out with a groin injury for 6 weeks.

Newbrook Celtic suffered defeat away to Cherryfield on Sunday morning.  Newbrook raced in to a two goal lead with Dan Tanam & Keith Jackson scoring inside the 6 yard box to put Newbrook firmly in control.  Cheryfields first goal got them right back in to the game and they punished Newbrook a further two times to take maximum points.
