Newtown FC
Not to be confused with the Welsh football club Newtown A.F.C.
Newtown Football Club is a football club in County Clare, Republic of Ireland.
The club was founded in 1977 and entered the Clare Junior League. Its founder members Red Austin, Jim Rocks, Tom McDade (Senior) and Donal Magee (Senior), all originally hailed from Belfast. Jimmy is still involved in the club but all the founder members have sons and grandsons all heavily involved at present. The link with their origins is reflected in their crest which includes the red hand of Ulster surrounded by the 3 ships of Clare. The club currently have two junior teams, a youth team and five schoolboy’s teams and a girls team. All work at the club is voluntary and our existence depends on community support and on a small number of "behind the scenes" people.
