With friendlies, coaching and competitive league games, we had 17 ties packed into another busy weekend for Johnstown FC.

2 games this weekend for the U8 Tigers ended with mixed results, with 1 win and 1 defeat but illustrating the concept of the this level of football perfectly. Learning and enjoying the game regardless of result. Well done to Phil and his team. Read full reports here

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.
