Newbridge Town lost their first game of this truncated National League season 2-1 to CK United when they met in Kilkenny. The hosts scored two quick goals in the first half through Callum Warfield and Ethan Boyle to lead at half time.

Three changes at the break gave Town a different outlet, and it paid off when Eric Munongo halved the deficit shortly after half time, his header back across the ‘keeper being the first goal by a Newbridge Town player in the FAI National League.

CK matched everything the visitors threw at them from there and held on for all three points. A fantastic display from both sides in the league’s opening fixture, played in tricky conditions.

Ahead of this weekend, Newbridge Town FC recommend for visitors on the day to park at the train station with limited space available at the ground itself and gates open 90 minutes before kick-off.
