A thriller of a match with a 4 goal hero in Conor W. saw the u13 team take their first win in the u13b league.

Things didn’t start so well and the boys found themselves 0-2 after 4 minutes, but this group of lads are very strong in character and this deficit was wiped out in 20 minutes of exciting play as Sean O’D and Ethan O. grabbed two fine goals to get Mooncoin back in the game.

Straight after half time the boys were well on it as Conor W got the quickest of hat track 3 goals in 6 minutes to make it a 5-2 score line. Then it was Bohs to up the game again as it went end to end 5-3 and then 5-4 with 2 fine free kicks.

The whole Mooncoin team worked hard from here on in, Conor sneaked another goal, 6-4 and Bohs kept pushing to make 6-5 and there was some fine saves and an excellent block from young Sam to see out the win.

Today we played away to neighbours Piltown in a closely fought battle .

There was very little between these two teams . And the result ultimately came down to a single kick of the Ball .

Exchanges a plenty in the opening ten minutes with a lot of the play in the Piltown half . Ella Bailey and Ciara O Keeffe really made their pressence known , and Kate McGrath was a constant thorn in the side of Piltown players .

A free kick from just outside the box put Piltown ahead before the first water break ….. but that didn’t phase our girls and as the game resumed we began to press the ball forward .

5 minutes from half time we were awarded a penalty which Emily Blackmore slotted home to tie the game up again .

The second half started with great gusto and we seemed to be getting on top in periods of play .

Just before the water break , Piltown were awarded a free kick , that was initially saved but a scramble in the box saw Piltown go one up for the second time .

A couple of chances came and went in the second half with Grace O Toole very unlucky not get get herself in the score sheet .

The game finished up at 2-1
