This is the story behind the 2019 Joe Ward champions the Newtown Blues.

A remarkable side…

The three in a row winning side

The side that equalled the great Cooley Kickhams team of the 70’s...bridging a 41 year gap.

In the pod there was great insight to how that was achieved and the man that was behind it all, Ronan Smiley Phillips. The blues manager that was Never beaten in a championship match

The lads gave a real essence of the long standing winning tradition that occurs in Newfoundwell.

The youngster Alan Connor striving just to get into the side. The humility of Rob Carr remembering the relegation play off a few years previous and to round it all off you have John Kermode, the big midfielder mocked by the elder Blues men with a plethora of Joe ward medals so you can see why despite having 5 he wants more

23 and counting…

Glory Days indeed…
