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….

The return of the coaching leagues made for a very busy weekend for Johnstown FC. 17 matches across all age groups from U8 right up to our 2 senior teams, saw players and officials from our club travelling to Dublin and Drogheda with the majority of our action in Navan’s MDL complex.

U9 Tigers had 2 games on Saturday. In their first outing they were denied a win by a last gasp Navan Town equaliser in an absolute thriller. Read full report here In their 2nd outing of the day, the Tigers came from behind to beat Parkvilla. Read full report here

On Friday night, the U10 Hawks kicked off their season with a comfortable victory over Skryne/Tara. The future for Johnstown at this age group looks bright with a lot of talent within the squad. Read full report here

U11 Sharks had a feeding frenzy on poor Ratoath Harps after a suberb all round team display. Read full report here

Our U13s travelled to Oldcastle for their Division 1 clash and struck first. However, the hosts equalised just before the break before taking the lead in the 2nd half. Johnstown hit back but Oldcastle went on the claim a deserved 4-2 victory. Read full report here

Senior Reserves lost their 100% home record falling to a comprehensive defeat to visitors Boyne Harps on Saturday afternoon. Read full report here

After last week’s fantastic win, Johnstown came crashing back to Earth with this narrow and undeserved defeat at the hands of Abbey Celtic in Drogheda. Read full report here
