This was a tale of 2 halves as the U14s held their own in the first but came unstuck in the 2nd to end up with a loss.

Sunday was a lovely afternoon to play ball and Mooncoin settled in to the game with a few strong tackles. There was a bit of to-and-fro in the midfield area and then first blood went to Tramore.

Mooncoin got back into the game and with a ball splitting the Tramore defence Emily raced onto it and hit the back of the net to make it 1-1.

There were a few chances for Tramore and then another through ball had Emily in on goal only for the keeper to make a good save and then the follow-up shot from Ella Brennan had the keeper make another good save to keep it as 1-1 at the half time break.

Tramore came on strong in the 2nd half scoring from a through ball, scoring off a corner routine, and from a lobbed shot. Mooncoin had a few bursts into the Tramore box from Eve and Emily but then Tramore went down the other end to slot in another goal which just tickled over line.

Even given the scoreline there were some fine performances in defence and once this team can get a hold of the midfield they will go far.
