Newry City AFC u11 v Oxford Sunnyside 2014 colts at Lisburn Rec 2B
A tough match for Newry against Oxford Sunnyside. The game was very scrappy and stop/start but the Newry lads battled on regardless but despite numerous chances – they couldn’t break the deadlock. Oxford Sunnyside took a 2-0 lead into half time with a clearance/shot and a well worked goal.
After the break, Newry continued to press but couldn’t put the ball in the net. Oxford Sunnyside scored a third right at the end with a counter attack when Newry were pressing. A frustrating game for Newry but we can learn from it.
Next game – Camlough Rovers 2014 v Newry City at Camlough stadium at 9am on 28th September

Newry started well and created plenty of chances in the first half. Luke Dinsmore was able to put one of these away to put the u12s in the lead going into the break.
In the second half, Newry defended well and also created more chances with Tom Woollard hitting the crossbar and Corey Rooney hitting the post. Ballymacash managed to equalise from a corner with ten minutes remaining. The game had a dramatic ending with what looked like a certain penalty for Newry but it wasn’t to be.

Newry City AFC U16 V Glentoran U16
After a tough first half in which we dug deep and made it difficult to break us down, Glentoran then broke us down and took the lead with 10 minutes to go before half time but we reacted well and created a couple of chances and brought out a top class save from the Glentoran keeper to keep it at 1-0 at half time.
In the second half we made it again difficult for Glentoran while creating a chance on the break but 15 minutes into the second half Glentoran doubled their lead but again a good reaction from us helped us pull a goal back from a good strike from just outside the box but just 2 minutes later Glentoran killed the game from a corner.
