The next group to be honoured in the Charleville Park Hotel on Saturday night are the U21s that did the three in a row in 1998, 1999 and 2000

1998 was the beginning of a triology. Newtown won the first of three U21 countys in 1998 beating Na Piarsaigh in a replay. Newtown gave a marvellous display of skill and heart to take the title. The side was captained by Paddy Egan.

In 1999, Mike Morrissey captained the winning side. Newtown beat Erins Own on a scoreline of Newtown 1-13 to Erins Own 1-07.

And in 2000, the Newtown U21s captured a third county title in a row. Captain Philip Noonan lifted the county cup after Newtown defeated Glen Rovers, 1-17 to 1-07. Bernie O’Connor, Liam Ryan and Seanie Clifford guided Newtown to the three in a row which was an unbelievable achievement for our club.

Tickets on sale Thursday night 8:30 to 9pm in the clubhouse.
