Chronicling Our Season….

Apparently we have become Johnstown United……or at least according to the Meath Chronicle, we have.

This week’s coverage comprises of match reports and teams of our senior first team’s victory over Newtown United and our U18s fantastic 11-1 demolition of Dunshaughlin on Sunday.

SuperDan Gismondi even got the headline he deserved….even if he did become Gismondo in the process, but we all know it’s you Dan!!

Daniele Gismondi

Maybe Next Week

Hot on the heels of his marvellous hat-trick yesterday comes the news that front man Daniele Gismondi was shortlisted for The Junior Soccer Portal‘s Macron Player of the Week award.

Being up against former LOI, Premier League, La Liga and Romanian Liga 1 players, some of whom did not even make the shortlist, was always a tough ask but if Super-Dan keeps up his form, it’s surely only a matter of time before he picks up this award.

Well done and hard luck Daniele.

Chronicling Our Season….

With so few games played last weekend, it is of no surprise that this week’s coverage in the Meath Chronicle features only one report, our senior 1st team’s cup victory over Division 1 side Boca Rovers.

It was also a memorable day for father and son, Dave and Mark Grumley, on the occasion of becoming the first ever father and son combination to represent Johnstown FC.

A Little Piece of History

Not many fathers can say they are lucky enough to have shared the same pitch as their son in competitive action. This honour befell 36 year old Dave Grumley today when he entered the fray as a 70th minute substitute in our Tully Bookmakers Challenge Cup clash.

His son Mark, who plays for our U18 NDSL side, played the full 90 minutes after he had been drafted into the side due to our current injury crisis.

This is the first time in the history of Johnstown FC that a father and son have shared the same pitch.

Congratulations, Dave and Mark, on your little piece of history today.

Chronicling Our Season….

This week, the Meath Chonicle have really out done themselves, giving us a full half page coverage.

Reports of both senior teams, the U15s and U12s with team photos of the senior 1sts (admittedly from the opening weekend of season) and U12s means a “Good Weekend for Johnstown Teams” can be relived all week!
