The summer shows no signs of slowing down and neither do our teams! There has been plenty of action over the last couple of weeks.
Seniors:
It was a game of two-pointers when our Seniors travelled to Mullabrack in the penultimate game of the League. Both teams kicked some fantastic scores outside the arc, but Newtown ran out comfortable winners 2-21 to 0-09.
A tougher test awaited in Collegeland at the weekend, with miserable conditions at throw-in. An early goal for the home side had our lads on the back foot, and despite a spirited second half, including a goal from Aidan Davidson, it wasn't enough to catch the Collegeland men. They secured the Division 3B trophy on a scoreline 2-12 to 1-12.

Thank you to the recent Match Ball Sponsors, Airsquare NZ and Colm Rock respectively.
The lads will regroup and look towards Championship now, with their group including Ballyhegan and Killean.
Minors:
Despite losing to Wolfe Tones on Monday night 4-09 to 2-10, the lads secured the Division 3B League Shield. Congratulations to the team, particular mention to the Newtown contingent 💪 Well done lads.
U16 Boys:
The U16s faced a strong Setanta Gaels side, who ran out winners in their League Cup fixture 2-25 to 3-12. They weren't far off in their next match v Naomh Colum, with the home side victorious 2-16 to 2-11.
The boys have their Championship Quarter-final this week, with date & time subject to change. Good luck to this crew, who have playing well together all year.
The club recently hosted a match between the Armagh U15 Development Squad v Tyrone. We are proud to have two players involved, Lochlainn and Oisin.

Well done boys, you've represented St. Michael's brilliantly.
U14 Boys:
These lads had a challenge match against Dromintee this week, with their Championship campaign due to get underway soon.
U14 Girls:
Well done to the Michael O'Doirnin Emmetts who had a great win away to An Port Mór, 9-10 to 8-08! Super scoring girls, and great preparation for the Div.4 Championship Quarter-final this weekend.

U12 Boys:
These lads will be in action this Saturday against Tullysaran, no bother to them!
On a separate note, good luck to our U12 player, Phelim Rock, in his All-Ireland Road Bowls final this Sunday afternoon in Madden 💪 Bring it home, Phelim! There'll be plenty of support from Newtown there to cheer you on.
U12 Girls:
The girls had a great win in the League against Granemore last week, in what was a tight tussle. They also had a brilliant run-out in Lurgan tonight against Clann Eireann, showing that they're improving with each game and gelling as a team.
U10 Boys:
The U10s have been put through their paces recently, welcoming Granemore to Newtown, before taking the trip to Derrynoose on Saturday. Both GoGames were highly entertaining and competitive, with both sets of players showing great footwork and team spirit. Tonight, they played a strong Shamrock Gaels team in Clady.
They've had great opportunities to play a range of teams, and it's hoped a couple more will be arranged before summer is out.
U10 Girls:
This group will be taking part in an U10 Girls Hub this Saturday in Dorsey.
U8 Boys & Girls:
Training is back for these busy bees!
Congratulations to local teacher, Ms. Hill who was part of the Armagh camogie team who won the All Ireland Junior final at the weekend. A great inspiration to her pupils, especially having suffered disappointment of being on the losing side in recent years. Well done Ms. Hill 👏
