Newbrook Celtic Football Club

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.
