Tombrack United bid for 4 in a row

Last years winning squad

How dare anyone even suggest such a feat could be achieved by such a small club? I know, it is shocking to think that it could be done but there is a belief inside the squad that we are not in it to make up the numbers but to win the league again this season.

There are many good teams in this league and the fact that we have jumped another division this season could prove a bridge too far but we will definitely give it our all. I will try and keep account of all the matches we play this season on this blog and add pics when possible.

We started off last weekend with an away win against a Crossabeg team who were relegated from Div 2 last season and were keen to get off to a good start. Yours truly grabbed the first goal of the game and we pushed on to make it 0-2 at half time in terrible conditions. String winds and intermittent rain. We went 0-4 up with about ten minutes left through some great goals by Mick Savo Kelly (2) and a fantastic strike by Brian Byrne.

We were already in our cars on the way home to watch the hurling final when Crossabeg snatched two back. Lessons were learnt on the first day back and room to improve highlighted but 3 points in the bag nonetheless. Next weekend at home against Fastnet Rovers. Bring it!
