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.

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.
