The heart rate has just about returned to normal following yesterday's drama in Iniskeen.  After a disappointing week results-wise, our spirits were lifted with the hustle & bustle of the Ulster G4MOs Blitz and our U14s bringing home the Shield last night!

Seniors:
Two first half goals from the home side proved too much for our lads to recover from, with O'Hanlons running out winners 2-19 to 0-17.
We hope to see plenty of support for Sunday's afternoon fixture at home v Mullabrack.
Thank you to this week's MatchBall Sponsor, Noel Hughes. 

Minors:
The lads were up against one of the strongest teams in the league, and their efforts were hampered by a number of players out with injury. Ballymacnab were in flying form and proved too strong for our Minors tonight.  Keep the heads up.

U16 Boys:
Setanta Gaels are undoubtedly a good side, but in fairness there wasn't much between the two teams last week. We didn't have much luck and a few things didn't go our way, missed a few chances and on another day, the result could have been different but that's football.  They'll reset and go again 💪 Final score: 3-17 to 3-09

U14 Boys:
These lads clicked into top gear last night in their final against Mullaghbawn, to capture the Division 3 Championship Shield.  Excellent fielding, accurate kick passes and slick inter-play between the players resulted in a very deserved victory.  Keep it up lads, we are very proud, particularly of the Newtown contingent and the coaches! There are plenty of photos on Facebook courtesy of SD Photobox & Sineads_Snaps. 
Comhghairdeas a bhuachaillí agus a bhainisteoirí!!  ⚫️🟠🟢🔴
They'll be out again in action tomorrow night in the League.

U14 Girls:
2 goals in the last ten minutes saw this game slip away from the girls against Naomh Labhaoise, but they'll be back!  Final score: 5-06 - 3-05.

U12 Boys:
After a great showing at the James Hughes Memorial Tournament, these boys will welcome Whitecross to Newtown this Wednesday.

U12 Girls:
The girls will train this week ahead of the start of their next group of League fixtures.  Next week, they're away to Culloville. Good luck girls.

U10 Boys:
Corrinshego will visit Newtown on Wednesday evening for GoGames with our u10s, before they take a break for a few weeks.

U8 Boys & Girls:
This group had a brilliant time at the Forkhill Hub on Saturday.  There were several teams in attendance, including Corrinshego, Killean & O'Hanlons Poyntzpass.  They were in their element and loved getting their club kit on to take part.  Very well done boys & girls and thank you to the coaches for assisting on the day.

G4MOs:
Who would have thought we'd see the day when 29 teams would descend on Newtown for a G4MOs Ulster Blitz?! The pitch co-ordinators couldn't believe their luck when they were told they didn't have to keep the scores!  No-one was counting, but our Newtown Blues definitely won three out of four of their matches! A separate post to follow, but a special shout out to Helen Gibney who first tabled the idea to put our club forward as hosts 👏
Well done to everyone for a fantastic day.

CONGRATULATIONS to Anna O'Rourke, joint Captain of the U14 Cullyhanna camogs and her teammate Saorla Mullen, our underage stars, who were crowned Div. 1 champions for the third year in a row.  An amazing achievement, well done girls.

Well done to our U15 Armagh Academy Development Squad members, Lochlainn Murray & Oisin McCreesh.  The Armagh U15s won against Cavan to progress to the Tier 1 All-Ireland Academy semi-finals next month.  Well done boys!  A photo to follow in July.

Stay tuned for June's winners.
