Gues what home to St James Gate!!!!!!Start praticing the singing again.Used to be a League of Ireland team.Formed by Guinness for employess,maybe a mile or two from Inchicore!!Does that ring any bells.I think they were formed C.1920.
Come on the Nordies!!!!
On a different note(oh how apt under the circumstsnces)did anyone see the new Newtown website newtownfc.com
How short your memory is!!! Is it not just a few years ago Brennie was helping Newtown to a double is that how you lot treat your former players. Werent Newtown relegated back a few years ago. Only to have the kids haul you up a division. Then you were a club in bits after donal magee left you in an awful mess. Only for the legendary Jimmy Rocks to pull you through the ****e auld days. Who by the the initiated the emalgamation talk.. Now park were arragant not to accept. In jimmy's favour he is dead right there is room for only one team in Shannon!!!
Oi OI.Can someone do me a favour and tell what date Newtown are playing St.James' gate...i think its time to be booking the aul flights home innit!
Game is on 10th December
Are you hoping for a starting place Shels... I see you have been putting in the hours on the training field.:D A game against the Dubs and your back like a 19 year old again.
Best of luck to ye anyway. Any word on St James Gate????? They are probably a Leinster Senior Lg club. I remember them in the LOI alright.
They might bring a few kegs down from Inchicore to put behind the bar in the Lodge after the game.... Then there would be singing win, lose or draw.
maybe it is.. there aint many good players down there. so its only natural to play him instead of c team players. quirke, mac donald, mc keogh, hedgey, shane mc carthy, kissane, young o donnell, lockers are the only A team players park have, i remember the days when you lot had to bring back your old guard.
I remember watching Newtown beat Inchicore the last time down in StCaimans field, seemed like a massive crowd that day(granted I was much younger). Any surviving players from that day? Jay or Noel maybe???????
Parkfan. my memory is good enough to remember when Brendan was willing to kick a ball for anyone. He has played with all teams in Shannon , bar Oly I think, and has also played for Newmarket and a few clubs in Limerick. The point I am making is that you have come on this thread having a go at Newtown for them not using the young players. Obviously you are trying to rattle a few to see if they may be available to the thoughts of moving. By the way I am not a Newtown club man (though I did kick a ball for the dream team a few years back :D ) but I will wish them all the best in the FAI as I would do with any club that are flying the flag for Clare in a national competition.
Leinster Senior League teams cant play in FAI Junior.
Junior/Senior get it????I reckon they are James Gate second side maybe a Saturday team????They are a famous club who had full internationals playing for them including ,for all you United fans,Johnny(Jacky) Carey who would probably get in Uniteds and Irelands all time greats,however he wont be playing on the 10th!!!!!See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James's_Gate_F.C.

Yes, jay (18)and noel(17) both played that day. Damien Lindsay, current joint manager also played. Great day, Marty Russell scored a screamer from 30yards to win it in extra time. They say a Crowd of 2000+ watched that day in 1993. It seemed more like 10000 to me at the time:)
[QUOTE=papa-j;584338]remember watching game .. good match newtown never let inchicore settle into the game harried them all over the pitch and then played some excellent football... marty russell scored goal of his life .. and big crowd from all over shannon supported you that day ... 2 fresh faced youngsters jay stretton / noel donnelan and a few others as well .:D
