Our 13s travelled to tramore for their 4th away game in 5 league matches. We knew this would be another hard fought encounter as there is little or nothing between the majority of the teams in this division. We got off to a flyer when Emily pounced to score her 8th goal in 5 games a goal all of her own making. A fiercely contested midfield battle ensued which tramore came out on top for a period and they deservedly equalised before the break. We made a better effort in the 2nd period when the introduction of darragh sparked us into life and some loving passing led to Emily just shooting wide tramore had a chance to go ahead but Jack hearne pulled off an unbelievable save which Dixie said reminded him of Gordon Banks famous save, but nobody knew who he was taking about cause none of us are of that vintage. Our star of the match was Eoghan dermody who was magnificent in defence and has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months. Next up seaview celtic.

Euro’s Prediction Competition Update
So the Euro’s are at the Semi-Final stage and we have a very interesting scenario emerging from the MCFC Euro Prediction competition.
While no one named all four semi-finalist, there is 1 person that named 3 of them and they have a nice lead in the competition. However that same person cannot get much from “Predict the total goals” nor “Name the top goalscorer” and so the 4 people chasing are in with a big shout to take home the prize money, which stands at over €350.
The majority of chasers are not really looking for more goals, but if Harry Kane was to score 2 more, or Ciro Immobile was to score 3 then it would make the final prediction table a really close run competition.
Best of luck to all participants, and enjoy the matches all the way to the final.
WSFL Under 16c League: Bohemians 0 vs Mooncoin Celtic 9
Superb result for the team today without really coming out of 2nd gear. Stephen Foran and Sam Hartwell gave the Bohs defence a hard time all day with both scoring a hatrick each in both halves of the game. Stephen with some lovely finishes coming off the wing and Sam scoring a lovely flick on header to stand out. No under 16 match is complete without an absolute screamer from Lee Freyne and Lee also added a second today… Adam Conway was arguing with his luck after several chances went amiss however pure gut seen him slot home a lovely goal today to complete the 9… Jonah O’Toole lead us from the back in goal with a solid performance… a strong and progresssive back line of Alex Bailey, Tom Conway, Conor Dermody and Denis Kinsella and without a doubt Denis’s best game this season.. central midfield engines of Sean Lennon and Liam Hogan played a huge part today. Ciara O’Keeffe, Cian O’Sullivan, Matthew Morahan and Daniel Roberts all came off the bench and gave a great account of themselves… Man of the Match goes to Liam Hogan who didn’t stop for a breath… a great win which sets up a mouth watering league decider next Saturday against neighbours Piltown in Ashgrove at 3.30pm…. Well done all great result.
Academy Summer
Our younger group of boys and girls in academy finished up for the summer this evening with a nice casual game of ball and most importantly a nice casual ice cream or slushie. We hope to see all the kids back in September and hopefully some in our summer camp in August. Big thanks to all our coaches and helpers.
U13 league: DLS 5 Mooncoin 2
A very flattering scoreline to our hosts in what was a great advertisement for schoolboy football. We totally dominated the first 20 mins but couldn’t find a way past a resolute dls defence the homeside caught us with two sucker punches before halftime and somehow we went into the break behind. We were caught napping again early in the 2nd half to go 3-0 down cue the fightback we got the score back to 3-2 with 2 super goals from Liam Mackey and Ethan Owens and should have added a few more but for the last ditch defending from a very good dls back line. Dls caught us on the break twice in the dying minutes to make it 5-2 a scoreline which didn’t do our gangs footballing performance justice. Our star of the match tonight has to be shared with Liam Mackey and Ethan Owens.
