The Newry City AFC Academy were back in action last weekend:
Newry City u11 -v- Foyle Harps u11 Subway NIYFA u11 plate at Lisburn Rec 1B
Newry City Goal Scorer: Karol Oleszczuk
A very tough game for Newry City u11s against a well drilled Foyle Harps u11s. The game started evenly enough with the first 15 minutes being contested in the right manner. This changed when Foyle Harps scored their first goal from a long-range effort, Newry’s players heads dropped.
Even though they still battled away and scored the 1st goal after half time though Karol Oleszczuk – they couldn’t find a way back into the game and Foyle Harps came out deserved winners.
Team: Rory O’Hagan (GK), Max McKeown, Rio Carroll (captain), Lorcan Haughey, Deaglàn Finnegan, Daìthì Gorman, Noah Kearns, Rhys Hempkin, Harry Owens, Karol Oleszczuk, Reuben Bentley-McKevitt

Newry City AFC U15s v Newcastle Saturday 19 October Barbour 2
Newry hit the ground running scoring inside the first 2 mins with a well takin goal from Daniel Linden (1st game of the season due to an injury).
Soon after that, Ronan McCann got the 2nd goal to settle down the game, they started to relax and play with freedom.
Newry scored with only a few minutes remaining in the first half, Daniel again getting on the end of some good work from the Newry midfield players. 3-0 at half time.
2nd half started again with Newry coming out the more confident with 2 early goals from Jamie Franks and Frankie Bradley.
Newcastle got 1 back after that, a great strike from well outside the box.
Newry dominated play and goal scoring opportunities hitting 3 more goals courtesy of Jamie Franks Jacob Toner, and Daniel completing his hat trick.
After a few hard weeks, it was good for the boys to get back to winning ways.
Hard to point out a single outstanding player when they all played so well as a team.
