U17 Girls: Park Rangers 3 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic

Proudly Sponsored by TD Tiling .

It was a wonderful feeling this morning in Faithleg to finally get back to some Schoolgirl soccer after the Christmas Break .

Our ladies lined out against Park Rangers this morning in a game that brought plenty of excitement.

Park Rangers started very strong and we found ourselves 2-0 down after 20 mins , it’s at this point that the Mooncoin girls really rallied and started to get into the game . The girls began hunting in packs , Ella Bailey Kate Mcgrath , Cayla Dunphy and Niamh Reddy really got stuck in in the defence and made it their mission to cut out as much danger as possible .

Ciara O Keefe was in fine form today , and gave a phenomenal display today covering most of the park Rangers pitch . Once the game settled there was plenty of To-ing and Fro-ing ,
Luiseach O Donohue used her pace to her full advantage on the wing , with plenty of play coming through her contributions.

Katie Phelan yet again gave a solid performance doing all that was asked of her in the middle of the field , along with tireless team mate Eibhlin Holden .


Sommer Grant was a constant thorn in the side of the opposition , as she sprayed ball left and right , herself and Casey Moore really settled into their roles today. A few chances came out way .

An Emily Blackmore free kick with saved by the park Rangers keeper towards the end of the first half . Our goal came from a cross that was taken down by Debutant Alanah Jordon who made the pass to a waiting Sommer Grant , who quickly finished it to the net .


Full credit has to be given to Molly O Doherty who was brave enough to step between the sticks today and represent her club , who never once let nerves get to her.
