Friendly Fixtures
LATEST:  Apologies for not updating the site lately - I got married and have been on honeymoon. However, the re-design of the site is underway and I should have something for you to look at in August so that the new site should be live for the start of the season.
Away friendly fixtures have been scheduled while the pitch at the Showgrounds is readied for the new season. Newry play Dundalk on Thursday 18th July, Belfast Celtic on 23rd July and Shelbourne on 27th July.
Newry Institute (TEC)  is 100 years old this year and are looking for a student from every year from 1902 until the present day! We are currently finding it difficult to get students or their relatives for the early years. If you or a relative is a former student of Newry TEC please email Sharon
Goalkeeper Davy O'Hare is set to leave Newry for Coleraine following a contact mix-up at the Showgrounds. It is reported that Marty Quinn has signed O'Hare on a one-year deal.
There was a tough battle off the field for the The Showground Fan's Player of the Year title this season but Gavin Dykes managed to beat off the tough competition of Robbie Casey by just a few votes. Click here for more details.
Crusader's Davy Munster ended Newry's season on a low scoring in the 89th minute at the Showgrounds. The Town were left with a ninth spot finish.
Alfie Wylie's position as manager for the 2002/2003 season was confirmed at a committee meeting last week, after good wins against Cliftonville and Coleraine. While the season has been disappointing in some respects the club are building from the ground up and Alfie's contribution should not be under-estimated. With an improved ground, a weeding out of underperforming players and more input from the reserve and junior squads the new season could be rewarding for the club, when Lisburn Distillery and Institute join the Premiership.
At the heart of next seasons squad would have to be players such as Robbie Casey, Gavin Dykes and Lee Anderson who scored highest in the fans Player of the Year poll. 
Thanks to McIvor Farrell Solicitors, over the summer months this website will have a major overhaul with a fresh design and more functional and up to date interface. Keep calling back here for updates.
