Thursday evening saw our u15 Boys on the road again. This time out to the seaside to play Tramore. Following on from our 2 previous games that we played exceptionally well but lost the pressure was on us to stop the cycle.
We started very quickly out of the traps and were a goal up after one minute through Robbie Sutton(although James disputes this claiming the goal for himself). Dubious goals committee can decide on the scorer 😉.
Then on 3 minutes Tramore sucker punched us with an equaliser. On 20 minutes Tramore got a second goal. Our lads kept their heads are were very unlucky not to be level or even ahead at the break having hit the woodwork a couple of times. Mooncoin pushed from the start in the second half. And our persistence paid off on 52 minutes when Robbie scored an equaliser. The game was frantic from then on with both sides trying to win it but even more afraid to lose it. Bradley pulled off some super saves as the game came to it’s climax. Our boys pushed and pushed and the work and effort paid off when Will Mcloughlin poked home the winner for Celtic with the last kick of the game. The lads fully deserved the win to get us off the mark for the season.
Our next game is on Saturday week 19th October away to Bohs.

Congratulations to u17 player Emmet Cusack who had a busy but successful weekend at the UK Open last weekend scooping two silver and one gold medal to become British Champion just in time for the European Championship in Warsaw in a months time. No end to this young man’s talent.
Best of luck Emmet from all in the club.
U11A League Ferrybank 4 Mooncoin Celtic 0
Ferrybank deservedly took the three points on offer and the lads will take the positives from this after a slow start.
U17 C League Mooncoin Celtic 4 Tramore 1
A tight affair up to the last few minutes saw the boys get the three points on offer. Emmet Cusack and Jamie Grace with a brace each secured the win. Tough start in this short season for a young side.
U11 D League Kilmacow 3 Mooncoin Celtic 2
Leading 2-1 heading in to the last two minutes and it looked like a derby win but Kilmacow had other ideas and deservedly took the three points on offer. Goals from Jim and Edmund but special mention to James on goal for a cracking display of goalkeeping throughout.
U11 F League Hibs 1 Mooncoin Celtic 6
The boys started very well this morning with Kieran on fire throughout and Henry and Billy also getting among the goals.
