Continuing Coverage in Chronicle
Some of you may have noticed that our club has featured in the Meath Chronicle every week this season. Now, thanks to the kind permission of editor John Donohoe and sports editor Conall Collier, we can reproduce images of this coverage. Of course, we do so with the intention that you will ALL go out and buy a copy!!
This week, we have both senior teams’ match reports covered in the Chronicle, unfortunately they both lost this week, while in previous weeks they have also included U12 and U13 teams.
It is not just match reports either, 2 weeks ago our U12’s team photo before their game against Park Celtic Summerhill was also featured.
We all appreciate the hard work and time sacrificed by all our managers and coaches with the hands-on aspect for coaching our teams and writing match reports including teams and substitutes. This is vital so your team can benefit from the added publicity brought by the Chronicle, which can be key when trying to attract a new sponsor and helping raise the profile of our club.

The Weekend That Was…..
Mixed results for Johnstown FC this weekend. From large wins to crushing defeats, we experienced the lot.
Our U12s first half demolition of Trim Celtic meant this result was never in doubt after the opening 30 minutes. Goals by Ryan Kelly, Benji Taylor and a superb hat-trick from Adam Donohoe before a scoreless second half, despite both sides creating chances, meant a comfortable 5-1 victory for Johnstown, their largest of the season so far. See full match report here
The U13s faced a difficult trip to a very strong Malahide Utd in the SFAI Cup on Sunday afternoon. 4-0 and a captain down by half time left the boys little to play for but pride. A second half double from Ben Ryan were among several positives that can be taken from this game. See full match report here
Our U15s triumphed by the slenderest of margins, beating Newtown United by 2-1 on Saturday morning. Johnstown opened up a 2 goal lead through Sean Allen and Jess Capucho before Newtown pulled one back setting up nervy final 10 minutes which the hosts saw out comfortably for their 3rd successive victory. See full report here
Following last week’s highly impressive victory, our U17s were firmly brought back to earth to this weekend, suffering a 5-0 reversal on Saturday away to Kingscourt Harps.
The U18s welcomed 2nd placed St Ita’s to the MDL on Sunday for this early season top of the table clash. A 2-2 draw ensured Johnstown remained top of the NDSL U18 B Division.
The Senior 2nds were at home to Black Bull FC on Saturday afternoon. Thanks to goals by Shane Conroy and Wayne Cahill, Johnstown maintained their 100% home record with this 2-1 win while inflicting the first defeat of the season on Black Bull who had opened the scoring just after the break. See full match report here
In their John Gorman Motors Division 2 tie this weekend, our Senior 1st team travelled to face bottom of the table Fordrew Rovers. A hat-trick for Kacper Zeberek along with a brace each for Arron Kavanagh, Alan Burke and Daniele Gismondi put the hapless Rovers to the sword. After a run of 3 consecutive league defeats, this 9-0 victory was just the tonic for Ian Sheridan’s charges. See full match report here
